Scheduled times on the sampled dates, from the airport platform (or the bus 50 stop) to Zermatt station, not airport-to-hotel times. Add baggage collection and your final leg from the station. From 12 October to 8 November 2026 a replacement bus runs between Visp and Täsch. Fares are search snapshots from 28 September 2026 and move with date and quota. Read the evidence notes ↓
On the sampled trains Zurich Airport had the shortest scheduled time to Zermatt of the three, with two changes in January and three in October. Its flexible fare for two adults was the highest of the three on both sampled dates. See the table above for times and fares.
One train to Visp and a single change in January, but the longest scheduled time of the three. Its flexible fare for two adults was the lowest of the three on both sampled dates. The flight price, which is not included, can still change the picture.
EuroAirport’s bus 50 runs to Basel SBB, which is not Basel Badischer Bahnhof. On the sampled dates an sbb.ch ticket from the airport stop cost slightly more than one from Basel SBB, which suggests it covers the bus; check your ticket before buying a second one.
Look at ticket types, the Täsch question and the last leg to your stay.
Add the flight and baggage costs for everyone travelling. Then add return transport, the final connection and getting around during the stay. For a rental car, include all rental days, fuel, parking and required extras. A missing fare is still a missing fare. It isn’t a saving.

Explore Zurich → ZermattRail times, changes and fares are dated sbb.ch searches made 28 September 2026 for two adults without a discount card, second class, on Saturday 17 October 2026 and Saturday 16 January 2027 (returns 24 October and 23 January). The other facts come from the research snapshot checked 27 September 2026.
Zermatt railway station is the comparison endpoint; your accommodation is a separate final leg. Fares are dated snapshots that change with date and quota, flights are not included, and no road transfer quote with a stated Täsch endpoint was found. This page therefore declares no cheapest airport.
