The journey from Zermatt to the Tsch toboggan run involves navigating the unique transportation restrictions imposed on Zermatt, a car-free village. As private vehicles are prohibited from entering Zermatt, travelers must utilize alternative means to reach Tsch, the neighboring village where the toboggan run is located.
The primary benefit of this system is the preservation of Zermatt’s pristine environment and peaceful atmosphere. By restricting car traffic, air and noise pollution are significantly reduced, enhancing the visitor experience and protecting the delicate alpine ecosystem. The historical context of this car-free policy is rooted in a commitment to sustainable tourism and environmental conservation.
