Overview: car trip from Zermatt to Venice
A car trip from Zermatt Tasch to Venice is a tale of Italian flair sprinkled with Swiss rustic touches. Views of alpine woodlands transform into lavish metropolises and half-wooden villages before finally turning into the pristine lake district. You can't help but have the soundtrack of Volare on your mind as you speed through neatly stacked vineyards and slowly wind along mounting passes.
The 219-mile (352-km) road trip is packed with surprises, even before you set off. Although Venice lies to the southeast, you'll head north along the narrow road wedged between snow-capped cliffs to loop around the Pennine Alps. As you approach the Italian frontier, the road twists and turns like a plate of spaghetti, only more enjoyable as colorful towns nestled in gaping valleys ignite your taste for adventure.
At the midway point, Lombardy's flat plain encourages you to relax while cruising along the smooth roads flanked by lush greenery and medieval castles. Once you reach the lake district, a stop to dip in Lake Maggiore's warm waters will reignite your wanderlust for the final leg of the voyage.
You'll know you have reached the unique island of Venice when you run out of tarmac, and emerald waters flow beneath your feet. If you've selected the best mode of transportation, like a journey with Daytrip, you'll arrive firmly in the La Dolce Vita spirit. To uncover which is best for your needs and preferences, continue reading our comprehensive Zermatt to Venice travel guide.
About Venice
After a scenic cruise from Zermatt to Venice, you'll arrive in Italy's most iconic city. Despite its popularity, it's only the nation's 12th-largest town, home to under 260,000 residents. On a map, Venice sits northeast of the boot-shaped peninsula, surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and bordered by the Dolomite Mountain Range.
Early Venice
Venice's rich past began in the 5th century when locals in surrounding villages fled the incoming Germanic tribe invasions. These refugees built rafts and landed in the marshlands, 2.5 miles (4 km) from the Italian mainland. On the stroke of midday on Friday, March 25, AD 421, settlers officially declared the island a city.
Venice's strategic location along the Adriatic Sea allowed it to flourish as a port city, trading goods between Europe and the Arabic world. Eventually, it formed an empire stretching from northern Italy, along the Balkans, and down to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus from the 8th to almost the 19th century.
The Golden Age of Venice
Like most of Italy, the Renaissance was Venice's golden age. Its continued success along trade routes exchanging silk, spices, wines, and precious metals funded the construction of Europe's most elegant building even today.
Its style and sophistication attracted royalty, wealthy aristocrats, and world-renowned artists. Architects designed masterpieces such as Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Cathedral, and the Rialto Bridge, while Titian, Giovanni Bellini, and even Leonardo de Vinci assembled the world's most impressive art scene. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, Venice was the world's cultural capital.
Modern Venice
Today, nothing feels âmodernâ about Venice. Around 435 bridges link the 121 islands of its historical quarters, carved open by picturesque canals. Exquisite Renaissance and Byzantine-style buildings cluster together to create a labyrinth of walkways housing anything from traditional Venetian mask painting stores to rainbow-colored Venetian glasswork shops from the nearby island of Murano.
You can feel the city's financial and cultural wealth, especially when bobbling on the island's main artery, the Grand Canal. However, Venice also has a laidback and carefree spirit. Endless bacaris lining the maze of streets create a buzzing atmosphere where locals and tourists gather to indulge in a refreshing Aperol spritz and mouth-watering cicchetti!

From Zermatt to Venice: travel tips
The road trip from Zermatt to Venice is one of Europe's most stunning ventures. However, spending around six hours in a vehicle can take its toll. So, use our insider travel tips to ensure you overcome any hurdles en route!
Plan a pit stop
Whether to explore breathtaking sights, refuel with Italian cuisine, or combat deep vein thrombosis, making a pitstop en route from Zermatt to Venice is essential.
Borghetto sul Mincio is a charming village so small that it rarely appears on a map of Italy, never mind a tourist map. You can sample the regional flavors or take a peaceful walk along its gushing river. If you want something more majestic, stop at the seaside resort of Stresa, with sprawling views of Lake Maggiore!
Book tickets in advance
There isn't a vast transportation network from Zermatt to Venice due to the distance and mountainous terrain sandwiched between the cities. Therefore, seats are limited, and if you want the best deals, you must book at least 30 days in advance.
You should also book museums, tours, and other attractions in Venice before arriving in town. Spaces for in-demand sights sell out during the summer. Book your free 15 minutes at the T Fondaco Rooftop Terrace today as tourists pack out this sought-after lookout spot months in advance!
Be smart when packing
The most vital tip when traveling from Zermatt to Venice is to pack light!
Firstly, you'll likely take an indirect service between the cities. So you'll need to hurdle bags in and out of carriages. But the main problem arises when you arrive in Venice. Dragging a 20-kg suitcase in crowded lanes, over cobbled paths, and across footbridges will instantly dampen your first impressions of Venice.
It's also an extensive 219-mile (352-km) voyage. So, even if you plan to stop en route, remember to pack snacks, entertainment outlets, and plenty of water.
How to get from Zermatt to Venice

Trains from Zermatt to Venice
The train is the most popular way people transfer from Zermatt to Venice. Although it's the cheapest way to travel, it's not a budget-friendly service. So reserve a seat between 4 and 6 weeks before departing for the lowest fare.
Although one daily service requiring only one change is available, you'll likely swap carriages twice. You'll travel with Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, Trenitalia, and, depending on your selected route, possibly Italo Treno.
To travel by train, you'll board a service from Zermatt HBF to Brig HBF before swapping carriages. From Brig, you'll transfer to Milan Central Station and arrive at Venezia Santa Lucia Station around 2.5 hours later.

Geneva Airport is the closest terminal that flies directly to Venice. You can book a 4-hour indirect train through Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to get there. Then, you'll travel to Venice Marco Polo Airport with budget airline EasyJet. Finally, you can catch the Airport Express to the island of Venice in 25 minutes.
Including time for security checks at the airport, the overall journey will take around 7-8 hours and cost anywhere between $90-$210 (âŹ83-âŹ193).

Things to do when you get to Venice
The Floating City is the 9th-most visited city in continental Europe. Around 20 million people flock here to appreciate the magical setting and plethora of museums. So, prepare for a packed schedule after your Zermatt to Venice transfer!
Adore Saint Mark's Square
St. Mark's Square was the heart of European culture during the Renaissance. Today, you can still feel its significance, surrounded by magnificent buildings like St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.
The square is a bustling hub of activity, where you can marvel at the basilica's intricate mosaics, explore the affluent rooms of the Doge's Palace, and enjoy a coffee at one of the historic cafes. The basilica's bell tower also offers panoramic vistas of the cityscape and the lagoon.
Cross the Rialto Bridge and visit the Rialto Market
To reach the Rialto Market, you first must cross the beautiful Rialto Bridge. Believe it or not, this was the only one to span the Grand Canal for over 1,000 years. Remember to stop to admire the mesmerizing views looking down the canal, flanked by colorful buildings!
When you reach the other side, you'll arrive at souvenir stalls where you can pick up some famous Murano glass as a gift or memory. Continue walking to uncover the local market that has been here since 1067. Here, you can sample the fresh flavors and see why Venetian cuisine is a cut above the rest. Or you can gather some products and enjoy a picnic in a nearby park.
Unwind in Parco delle Rimembranze
Once you've grabbed some local produce, it's time to wander the tranquil streets of the Castello district and make your way to Parco delle Rimembranze. Although you're still blessed with scenic surroundings, the open green space with a fresh sea breeze makes you feel out of reach from Venice's narrow lanes.
The vibrant greenery, the smell of the pine trees, and the noise of water splashing against the shores turn the area into an urban oasis. Many tourists overlook this setting, so you'll have enough space to relax. This is ideal if you need to recharge while traveling as a family.
Experience a gondola ride
Gondolas were the primary mode of transport in Venice for around eight centuries. Now, they're a symbol of tourism, and no trip to the city is complete without embarking on a romantic voyage.
As you glide along the narrow waterways, you'll pass by historic buildings and under quaint bridges while witnessing the hidden gems of Venice that are only accessible by water. Gondoliers often share fascinating tales and sing traditional songs, adding to the enchanting ambiance.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
Most of the floating city's 20 million visitors travel to the region in the summer. In the winter, it's no surprise that this town, built on 435 islands, is prone to flooding. Therefore, spring is the best time to book your Zermatt to Venice transfer!
The average daily high temperature of 74° Fahrenheit (23°C) is just right for taking walking tours, going on cultural excursions, or getting lost in its 160 square miles (257 square km) of maze-like streets. With the sun high in the sky, it's also the first time since the beginning of last fall that tables and chairs fill the outside terraces.

Varför folk Àlskar Daytrip
- 134 resenÀrer tog denna rutt med oss
âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â
Det bÀsta transportföretaget var som helst
âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
PrisvÀrd och sÀker transport
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
Daytrip gör en aldrig besviken
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
Fantastisk chaufför i Egypten
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
BekvÀma och sÀkra resor i Mexiko
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â
Ett fantastiskt sÀtt att resa och se sevÀrdheter lÀngs vÀgen
âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
