Every way from Milan Malpensa to Zermatt

Private transfer

Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags

A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to your accommodation in Zermatt. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows: from €648 for the whole car.

Book from €648

Shared shuttle or coach

Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget

Seat-based shuttles run to many Alpine resorts on changeover days. You pay per seat, but you wait for a fixed departure and may be dropped at a central stop. Check that ski bags are included.

Private or shared? How to compare quotes

Train and bus

Best for: Light packers who like public transport

There is no direct airport-to-resort train on this route. A rail-and-bus connection may exist via the nearest valley station; check every change and the final bus with ski luggage.

Hire car

Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay

Driving 192 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Zermatt. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Tips for this journey

  • Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
  • Zermatt is high (the ski area starts around 1,559 m). After fresh snow the last climb can be slow and chains may be required; allow extra time on the return to the airport.
  • Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
  • Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Zermatt" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
  • Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (zermatt tasch). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.
