I am looking for pricing and schedule to go from Zermatt to Nice next April. Any advice the site did not give me any results.

Which site did you use? The SBB, DB, or SNCF? Or perhaps another?

I don't think any site will show you schedules and fares for next April. the train schedules change twice a year, mid-June and mid-December. You cannot find complete schedules for dates after mid-December yet. Dut you can check the schedules and fares for dates around now to get an approximation. They do not change very much, especially for Swiss trains in my experience.

Use the German Rail site, www.bahn.com/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml, to get timetables for virtually all of Europe. Enter a date no later than 11 December. After you get summary timetables for Zermatt-Nice Ville, click on "Show details for all" to see the connecting points.
Your fastest route is Zermatt-Visp-Milano-Ventimiglia-Monaco-Nice, departing at 06:13 and arriving at 16:45. The standard 2nd class fare for Zermatt-Milano is 80 CHF; but if you book well in advance on the Swiss Rail site, you can get a discount fare. According to the Italian Rail site, the 2nd class fare for Milano-Ventimiglia on an IC train is €24.50. According to the French Rail site, the fare for Ventimiglia-Nice is €6.50.
