Zermatt
,no edit summary
'''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):==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.
