Zermatt travel tips
Visa and entry
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Switzerland before booking flights.

For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Switzerland.
