I am interested in coming to Zermatt this February to ski. I have been looking at some information, and I was wondering if anybody could answer a few questions. If so, I would greatly appreciate it.

Where should i fly in to? Geneva?

Should I take a train to Zermatt and not obther renting a car?

Can I ski Zermatt and over into Italy (Cervinia I think it's called) on one pass?

Where are some good places to stay? they don't necessarily need to be cheap, but comfortable. I am coming with my family and friends.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 
do u go winter or summer?

zermatt is carfree, so u better go from geneva by train, thats for sure
 
The best is to fly into Zurich, because of the new tunnel, but you could also fly into Geneva or Milan. By train:

Zurich - Zermatt: 3 hours

Milan - Zermatt: 3.5 hours

Geneva - Zermatt: 4 hours

You can look up train timetables at www.sbb.ch

A rental car is not a good idea because Zermatt is car free and you will have to pay for parking, plus the train is usually faster than the car.

You can ski over to Italy on one pass, just make sure you buy the 'international' pass. It is slightly more expensive but it's totally worth it. For ski pass prices have a look at http://www.zermatt.ch/en/page.cfm/p_skipass

My favorite place to stay is Haus Theodul (www.theodul.ch), which are serviced appartments right on the main street. If you are going with family I would recommend against the (youth) hostels. I would suggest renting an appartment: send an enquiry to info@zermatt.ch, tell them what you need, and they will send you a bunch of options. This is the Zermatt tourist office, they are incredibly helpful.

If you have more questions, you can also PM me.
