Eurail Pass into Zermatt

You have mentioned it twice, the Tasch-Zermatt return for $17.  What is that referring to?  Part of my question is if there would be separate fees or will the Eurail Pass cover the back and forth?   You really have been too kind and helping this Texas country girl that has never ever even ridden a Subway…... That 17  euro refer to the NORMAL return ticket price: If you have an Eurail ticket, there will be no additional fees. But if you plan to buy a 10 day pass, one day would cost you around 40 euro → it is no good value to use it for a trip that costs you as a standard ticket 17 euro… Best to write your routes down in an excel sheet and then check what will be the cheapest option for you. For saver fares check trenitalia / SBB. For Italy if you go without EUrail also worth to check prices of .italo - it is a private train operator, you could use from Milano to Rome and maybe Rome to Venice (if price is cheaper). Attention: this is only worth to check if you DON’T use Eurail

Eurail Pass into Zermatt

So for your planned route you would need reservations for Milan to Rome, Rome to Venice, Venice to Brescia and probably also (if you want to do it quick) Milano to Brig/Visp. Means that would be another 41€ per person (second class) for reservations.  So you would be already almost on 450€ per person. But with the 10 day pass you can also use it for your Täsch-Zermatt rides (just doesn’t really pay off).   I would suggest buying single tickets (check on Trenitalia), or switch to a 4 day interrail ticket for the Longer trips and buy regional trains tickets or saver tickets for the Venice-Brescia, Brescia-Milano and Täsch-Zermatt routes…  If Täsch - Zermatt is 17€ return it doesn’t pay off buying a pass day which costs you 40€ per day… You have been incredible!  thank you so much

Does the Eurail Pass work for Speed Trains?milan to Tasch3 days from Tasch into ZermattTasch to MilanMilan to RomeRome to VeniceVenice to BresciaBrescia to MilanI logged that into the Eurail Pass and was given 10 days travel during a 2mnth period for about $360 dollars.  But it couldn’t get the answer about the individual daily trips from Tasch into Zermatt can be part of that ticket or have to pay separately because unique train and not part of the Eurail system.Does the Eurail require separate reservations?  Hearing those are separate fees too….

Thank you!  Only reason was considering a Eurail Pass is after skiing then doing a couple of different destinations in Italy.  Do you still recommend regional trains?

Yes, the idea for Taesch is the more reasonable lodging fees.  I have asked host and they aren’t even aware of a direct train from Milan to Taesch….
