My college aged kids will be traveling by train from Milan & wished to go to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn. Would they have enough time to go to Zermatt view the Matterhorn for a bit & make it to Zurich for a late arrival or should they plan a little closer evening destination.

Go to www.bahn.com, starting Milan at 7 am they can spend 4 hours in Zermatt and get to Zurich by 7 pm. Just click the "via" box and enter Zermatt and time of stopover. 4 hours should be good if it is a nice day. If its a lousy day, skip it altogether.

Thanks so much!! I know it's kind of an expensive side trip, but sometimes you take what you can get.

But... what happens if they arrive in Zermatt after all that trouble, and the mountain is obscured by cloud cover (which happens often)? I would recommend at least an overnight stay in Zermatt, if not 2-3 nights.
