Zermatt is car-free. Only electro-mobiles are allowed for commercial use, together with horse-drawn carriages. Most distances can be easily covered on foot, but electro-taxis ensure a comfortable transfer to the hotels. Public transport is provided in the form of electro-buses. During the winter (1st November to 30th May), you can travel free on the "Bergbahnen" line with any ticket for the Zermatt Bergbahnen in the southern area (Matterhorn glacier paradise). The rules are different for the Winkelmatten line: Here, you can only travel free during the winter if you hold either a multi-journey ticket (Peak Pass etc.) or a ski pass.
