[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get theeself to Zurich or Milan. Take train to Zermatt. [/quote]
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]

You can ski between them, but not drive between them so you need to stay on one side or the other and OP wants to go to Italy, so Cervinia would be the choice.[/quote]
