Interlaken to Zermatt Transfer: Private Car, Pickup & Comfort

Summary

Private transfer from Interlaken to Zermatt with door-to-door pickup and local driver

You’ll skip the hassle of public transport and get picked up anywhere in Interlaken by a local driver who helps with luggage and shares small tips along the way. The private car ride ends at Täsch station near Zermatt, where your driver makes sure you’re set for the final stretch—and you might just find yourself smiling at those cowbells too.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit it: I was nervous about getting from Interlaken to Zermatt with all our bags (and my partner’s ski gear—don’t ask). The idea of lugging everything onto trains sounded exhausting, so we booked this private transfer. Our driver, Daniel, texted the night before with his number and a quick “see you tomorrow!”—somehow that tiny message made me relax a bit.

When he pulled up right outside our Airbnb (five minutes early), he hopped out and actually helped wrangle our suitcases into the van. It smelled faintly of coffee and something floral—I think he’d just cleaned it. The drive itself was quiet in a good way; Daniel pointed out where the Lauterbrunnen valley started (“that waterfall is louder after rain”) and let us play our own music. There was this moment when we passed green fields with cows wearing bells—so cliché but honestly kind of magical. I kept watching the mountains shift as we got closer to Täsch.

I didn’t realize Zermatt’s car-free thing meant we’d stop at Täsch station, but Daniel explained how the shuttle trains work and even helped us buy tickets at the machine (my German is…not great). He waited until we were set before waving goodbye, which felt weirdly personal for a transfer service. I still think about that last glimpse of the Matterhorn peeking through clouds as we rolled away on the train—it’s funny what sticks with you.
