we need to travel from Zermatt to Stuttgart and the fares are really expensive, like Euro 270 for 2 adults and 2 kids aged 12 and 6.
is there a cheaper way? maybe by buying a swiss pass? or 1 day pass? and if i buy a 1 day pas, i will have to pay for reservation since i have large luggage?
thks in advance

so maybe it makes sense to get for 2 adults i.e. 140 CHF and then buy a separate ticket from Singen to Stuttgart?
Possibly.
Also compare that to splitting at Visp: Zermatt-Visp at sbb.ch and Visp-Stuttgart from DB. DB can't issue through tickets to/from Zermatt anymore but I noticed DB does not split tickets at the most favourable places (e.g. in Zurich).
Also compare routes via Stuttgart and via Basel. I'd expect via Stuttgart to be cheaper, but you need to force that route to see all possibilities.
is it cheaper to use the Baden Württemberg ticket as suggested by @mcadv, do you know?
In that case, do the calculations yourself. On the DB website, compare the price for Visp-Stuttgart to the price Visp-Singen plus 1 BW-Ticket for 2 persons (31€, the children travel for free).
i am not sure but when i checked they said that swiss family card is not complimentary, but at a price
Apparently the information in English is wrong. When I look at the text in German at SBB it says that the "Kinder- Mitfahrkarte" has a price of 30 CHF per child.
Sorry for giving wrong information, but I thought that the texts in English that I read were correct.
