So I got a few day's available to myself this week (week of Feb 26 - 2days) and I thought I'd head to Zermatt. I've never been and have been wanting to go since I arrived. I have a few questions that seem simple but I'm not getting clear answers with all my searches (my mom never raised a genius). If there is already a thread, please direct me - I haven't found it yet.
ME:
* I'm traveling from Zurich
* I would like to use the train from Zurich to Zermatt and back
* I want to see Stelli Lake
* I may spend the night, if I can find really cheap accommodations
Questions:
* The train from Zurich to Zermatt is about 60sf (with half fare) each way
-- Is there such a thing as a "day" train pass. If I left in the early morning and returned late in the night, is there a 1day train pass that I can buy?
Regardless if this is a "sane" idea, it may be financially better for me.
To go to Stelli see I understand I need to take a cable car from Zermatt to blauherd.
-- Is this open right now (week of February 26)?
-- I read that I also need to take a Funicular to get from Zermatt to the blauherd cable car -- is that right?
-- Where can I find the price / schedule for the funicular and cable car
---- This is what I understand so far: To see Stelli see - I go from Zermatt, funicular to Sunnegga, cable car to Blauherd, hike 20min
---- I thought I read (during my research) the price is about 40sfWeather
-- Is there a webcam I can check to see what Zermatt / stelli see looks like
I'm sure this information is out there in the "Interwebs" but for some reason I'm not confident in what I'm reading.
