'''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]]. Train to\/from Zermatt costs somewhere around 5 to 10 Swiss Francs. Hitching between Tasch and Visp is pretty easy.

Hitching from Visp to Tasch (and onto Zermatt):

Stand near the traffic circle (roundabout) on the only road to Tasch. Theres not much room for cars to stop, but the road isn't too busy.
