Hi Everyone,

I have one more question regarding buying sim cards for using the cell
phones. Could you please recommend a good sim card to buy in
Switzerland for local use? Also do they require any documents besides
passport for issuing the sim-card.

Thanks a lot for all the help and suggestions.

Shanky

Passport is enough.
Ask for the Yallo offer. cheap and fine (20 sfr for the card, and it
comes with a credit of 20 sfr on it!).

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. The trip was great. I had a
wonderful time in switzerland. I did not have enough time to visit
zermat but I was able to visit Jungfrau, Titlis and Pilatus mountains.
Also I drove from lucerne to interlaken taking the route: lucerne-
andermatt-airolo-ulritchen-interlaken. The drive through the st
gothard tunnel was amazing, i have never driven through such a long
tunnel ever before and really loved the drive.
I bought the choclates from teuscher and hanold chocalateirs ( very
good ones).

I just have a couple of questions:
1) regarding visiting zermatt- Is it close from any city in italy?
2) Regarding car rental: I rented one at hertz and had to shell out
almost 350 sf( around 250$) for the one day rental. Is this the normal
rates for rental in all of europe or is this the case only in
switzerland?

Thanks again for all the great suggestions and tips.

Have a good week;
Shanky

I could be wrong but I doubt there is any access from the Italian
side. As cars are forbidden in Zermatt you would have to go round to
where the bottom train station is on the swiss side (in the canton
Wallis-Valais). Definetly not practical from the italian side.

That had nothing to do with Switzerland. I payed the equivalent of 350
sf for a one day car rental in France once (from Avis).

Hertz and Avis are a scam. Avoid them like the plague.

Go for these companies:
1) easycar.com (work with National cars but are cheaper): less than
100 sf a day
2) National: about 120 sf a day
3) Europcar: about 150 sf a day

Glad you had a good trip
Zermatt is at the head of dead end valley ( unless your walking over
the tops) but Domodossla is a moderate sized town the other side of
the mountain range from Brig connected by train ( 30 mins) or over a
pass by road .
