Zermatt ↔ Geneva taxi (airport and city centre)
Geneva and Zermatt are about 3 hours apart by road: motorway along Lake Geneva, up the Rhône Valley via Sion and Visp, then into the Matter valley to Täsch. As Zermatt is car-free, your driver takes you to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch; from there, the shuttle train reaches the village in a few minutes. On departure, they collect you in Täsch and take you to the airport or central Geneva. Saloon, luxury saloon, 4x4, 8-seat van or 19-seat minibus. Leaving from the city? The driver also collects you at Cornavin station, your hotel or your Geneva home.
