Täsch, Switzerland, a dreamy gateway to the Alps

Täsch, a small Swiss town hidden in the Alps, is a must-go place leading to the Matterhorn. It carries the unique charm of the interweaving of nature and humanity, and is very suitable for tourists who love nature and outdoor sports. Take this guide and start your exploration of Tash.

🚗Transportation Guide: If you depart from Geneva, you can drive to Täsch parking lot in 3.5 hours and navigate to "Matterhorn Terminal Täsch". The parking lot is in the same building as Tash train station. The parking fee is 16 Swiss francs per night. You can drive out after paying the fee. You can also take the train. Download the "Swiss Railways SBB" Chinese app in advance to buy tickets, which is convenient and fast.

[Glister] Tour route: Go to Matterhorn in the morning, take the shuttle train from Täsch train station to Zermatt, and then transfer to the Gornergrat mountain train. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes. It is recommended to sit on the right side so that you can have a panoramic view of the Matterhorn and the beautiful scenery along the way. Arrive at the Gornergrat viewing platform, which is 3089 meters above sea level and is an excellent spot to view the Matterhorn and surrounding glaciers. In the afternoon, we will hike to Lake Riffel, which takes about 2-3 hours. Along the way, we can admire the Matterhorn from different angles. If we are lucky, we can even take a picture of the perfect reflection of the Matterhorn in the lake.

🍜Food recommendation: Traditional Swiss food is not to be missed. Cheese hot pot is a must-try. The fragrant cheese is paired with bread, and every bite is full of rich milk flavor. It is the best way to warm up in cold weather. There is also Swiss chocolate, which has a mellow taste and beautiful packaging. It is very good whether as a souvenir or to taste it yourself; roasted potato pancakes rösti are also worth a try, golden and crispy, with a fragrant aroma. There are many restaurants in the town, ranging from high-end restaurants to cozy cafes for you to choose from, with a wide range of choices.

[House] Accommodation suggestion: There are various types of accommodation in Tash. During the peak season, it is recommended to book online in advance to ensure that you have the accommodation you want. If you have enough budget, you can choose a luxury resort hotel and enjoy high-quality services and facilities; if you want to experience the local customs, homestays are a good choice, which are warm and comfortable.

[Star] Friendly reminder: The weather in the mountains is changeable. Even in summer, the temperature may suddenly drop or it may rain. Please be sure to bring waterproof and warm clothing and comfortable hiking shoes. Tash is at a high altitude, and some tourists may have altitude sickness. After arrival, they should rest properly, drink plenty of water, and pay close attention to their physical condition. When engaging in outdoor activities, stay on marked routes, do not act alone, and carry first aid supplies with you.
