What tickets can I buy with the Matterhorn App? You can book cable car or travel tickets in the Matterhorn App Shop and load them directly onto an existing KeyCard or SwissPass, allowing you to pass directly through the turnstile without queuing at ticket offices. If you don't have a KeyCard or SwissPass, you will receive a QR code you can use at the turnstile for single or return journeys.
How do I access my tickets after purchasing? If you already have a KeyCard or a SwissPass, you can load the ticket onto your card. The ticket is activated in just a few minutes (max. 30 minutes). If you don’t have a KeyCard or a SwissPass, you can either pick up your ticket easily from one of the twelve ticket machines or collect it from one of the Zermatt Bergbahnen AG sales points, from the Zermatt Tourism counter or from the Gornergrat Bahn (signposted pick-up point). If you do not have a data carrier, such as a smart phone, a deposit of CHF 5.00 per ticket will be charged at the point of sale. This deposit will be refunded when you return the ticket in Zermatt.
How can I buy a ticket for someone else? You can enter and add the people you want using the ‘Edit group member’ function. The people you enter are saved in the app, making it easy to buy tickets again in the future.
What payment methods can I use in the Matterhorn App? Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), Twint, Apple Pay, Google Pay.
Can I use vouchers in the Matterhorn App Shop? Yes, you can redeem Zermatt Bergbahnen AG vouchers and Zermatt Tourism destination vouchers at the checkout. It doesn't matter whether you pay the full price or benefit from a discount.
I am entitled to half-fare and GA discounts from SBB. What discounts do I receive and where can I purchase tickets? Half-fare and GA discounts give you 50% off the following tickets:
- Single & return journeys to all stations (incl. Gornergrat) 
- Single & return journeys on the Täsch – Zermatt shuttle

How can I load a ticket onto my KeyCard/SwissPass? You need to create an account before you book a ticket. You can add as many people as you like to the ticket under ‘People’. In addition to entering first name, last name and date of birth of ticket holders (mandatory, as tickets are personalised), you can also select your choice of data carrier.
If you have a KeyCard, you can top it up using the data carrier number or by scanning the QR code on the back of the KeyCard.
If you have a Swisspass, you can top it up using your Swisspass ID and your place of residence (postcode).
