The car
About this car in Zurich
From Zurich, the quickest way to Zermatt crosses the Bernese Alps on a train: at Kandersteg, cars drive onto the Lötschberg shuttle and emerge a quarter of an hour later at Goppenstein in the Valais, then continue up the Mattertal to Täsch, where Zermatt's own shuttle takes over. The journey is about three and a half hours in all.
Eight travellers and their ski bags fit in the long Defender 130, whose load space runs from 389 litres to more than 2,200 with seats folded. Snow tyres are fitted, and the six-cylinder diesel of 250 hp drives all four wheels.

Drives from Zurich, the best months and when to book
Suited to this car
- The Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein (about 45 km from Zurich): North towards Schaffhausen, the Rhine Falls at Neuhausen and then, along the river, the painted medieval town of Stein am Rhein.
- Over the Julier to St. Moritz (about 200 km from Zurich): The motorway to Chur, then the Julier pass, open all year, into the Engadine: in winter you need winter tyres, ideally with four-wheel drive.
Best months for this car
In November–March Zurich gets up to 7 snowy days a month: the all-wheel drive and ground clearance of an SUV make the difference.
