Hi Chris,
Thanks again for the much informative reply.
I will need to ask you more as the time comes close
so, I was browsing the SBB timetable and it boggles me as to why the train has to travel to Zurich from the southwest (say, Zermatt or Montreux) in order to get to the south west i.e. Tarasp ( I was trying to see if it was feasible to see the schloss there while I was in Montreux but, it seems not :S) thus, making the journey 5-6 hrs long
On the other hand, a trip from Basel-->Tarasp only takes half as much, 3 hrs
