What is the best way to get to Greich (the village where Montanara is located)?
We highly recommend using public transportation. Take the narrow gauge train from Brig to Mörel (about 10 minutes, 2 stops) on the route toward Furka Pass/Andermatt. Then take the cable car from Mörel to the village of Greich (halfway point on the cable car). The Swiss transport system is very efficient and often faster than driving a car. Taking the train from the airport is just as fast, just as cost effective, and more scenic than driving yourself, not to mention the headache of driving and renting a car in a foreign country. Besides, the roads are narrower and everyone drives more aggressive than in the USA. I recommend getting the Swiss Pass, Swiss Card, Swiss Transfer Ticket, 1/2 Fare Card, or similar transportation pass. Do not get a Eurail Pass and do not get a pass in 1st class.
