Is this the same answer for Cervinia (which is better for newer skiers)? [/quote]

Zurich is much farther than Milan from Cervinia. The closest airport is actually Turin, which doesn't have nearly as many flights as MXP, but if you can get a good quick connection, would save you about an hour in travel time vs. MXP. Since both require one stop from DC, it's worth checking both.[/quote]

Even though Cervinia looks like it's about 15 miles from Zermatt as the (very cold) crow flies, the Matterhorn in between means it's actually a 3.5 hour drive around the mountains to get there. So Zermatt is an easy 3 hour train ride straight from Zurich, but Cervinia is and 8.5 hour trek through Milan and Turin from Zurich

Thanks for this (geography?) lesson. Info on a Cervinia says better skiers will want to ski “nearby” Zermatt as well. [/quote]

Yeah I was confused looking at the map because they are so close. I think their cable cars may meet at the top, so you can take the cable car up one and then ski down the other. Also looks like a direct cable car connection between them was either just finished or is about to be finished.
