Where do I meet the chauffeur at the EuroAirport?
The airport has a Swiss exit and a French exit. Your chauffeur waits at the exit shown on your confirmation (Swiss by default, French for Alsace) with a name board.
Why can't you drive into Zermatt?
Zermatt is closed to combustion vehicles. We drop you at the entrance car park or terminal and book the electric taxi or shuttle for the last stretch; the chauffeur accompanies you with the luggage.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number live. Your chauffeur adjusts to the actual landing time and waits at the Swiss sector exit; 60 minutes of waiting are included beyond that. No fees, nothing to do.
Are skis and bulky luggage accepted?
Yes. The E‑Class takes 3 suitcases and a ski bag; the V‑Class up to 7 suitcases with a ski rack; the Sprinter has a trailer on request. Tell us your equipment when booking, there is no surcharge.
Is the road safe when it snows?
Our vehicles run winter tyres and carry chains, and our chauffeurs know these roads in winter. If a road is closed we drop you at the nearest access point and adjust the price.
Are there busy periods for getting to Zermatt?
Yes: Zermatt Unplugged in April, Matterhorn Ultraks in August. On those days we leave earlier and the chauffeur follows live traffic; the price does not change.
