[[File:1476.jpg|thumb|right|400px]]'''Zermatt ''' is a popular mountain town in the south of [[Switzerland]], popular because of its proximity to the Matterhorn (highest peak in Switzerland).

Cars are not allowed in Zermatt (only electrical local vehicles permitted) except during a month or so in the low season when construction \ maintanence and maintenance vehicles are let in. Due to the low traffic, even at that time its probably difficult hitching in.

Closest town to Zermatt is [[Tasch]] - 5 km. Train to\from To Zermatt you can walk a nice trail, use a train (costs somewhere around 5 to 10 Swiss Francs) or use taxi (negotiable price). Hitching between Tasch and [[Visp ]] is pretty easy. [[User:Matt Stock |Matt Stock]] was waiting a while hitching at night from Visp to Tasch, but a friendly couple eventually stopped. [[Signs|Sign ]] works well. Hitching from Visp to Tasch (and onto Zermatt):

== Hitching from Tasch to Visp: ==Best spot is right near the Train Station, on the road to Visp. Small town, very straight forward. Visp, not too much to keep you there but you can get a bike for 3 hours ride it around for free and return it, stay a day or two.. photo below is on the way from Visp to Brig.
