From SBB, looks like some of the train route will be via bus? How long will this trip take. Will be travelling the end of August. Is flying an option if available or would we miss too much of the scenery?
When looking at the SBB timetable, it displays the departure time, arrival time, and journey duration. These details may vary slightly depending on the route chosen.
You may have seen the following additional information:
“Interrupted service between Visp and Täsch (train).
This is due to a natural hazard.
The duration of the restriction is not known.
Lines RE41 and RE42 are affected.
The line between Visp and Täsch is interrupted due to weather damage. Replacement buses run between Visp and Täsch. Travelers should allow more time as bus capacities are lower than trains.”
The extra time needed for the journey depends on how busy it is and how many people need to transfer from the train to the replacement buses. This information cannot be provided in advance.
Could you clarify what you mean by flying? Where would you like to fly to?
The only way to fly to Zermatt is via helicopter. Do you have one?
