Private Transfer Malpensa
& Milan to Zermatt
Door-to-door Mercedes with an English-speaking driver from Malpensa, Linate or Bergamo arrivals, or your Milan hotel, to the Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch, the last stop by car before car-free Zermatt. About 2 h 50 from Malpensa over the Simplon Pass, open all winter, from €615 per car.
Malpensa or Milan to Zermatt by Private Car: About 3 Hours
A private transfer from Malpensa to Zermatt covers about 185 km and takes around 2 h 50 to Täsch, the village 5 km below Zermatt where every car has to stop. From central Milan it is about 3 h 15, from Linate about 3 h 30 and from Bergamo about 3 h 45. Malpensa is the closest major airport to Zermatt, which is why most of our winter guests never go into Milan at all: the driver meets them inside arrivals and drives straight past Lake Maggiore, through Domodossola and over the Simplon Pass into the Valais. The price is for the whole car, not per person, and includes fuel, motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette and parking.
Zermatt is car-free, so no private car, taxi or transfer company can drive you into the village. We take you to the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch, help you with the luggage trolleys to the platform, and the shuttle train runs up to Zermatt every 20 minutes in 12 minutes. At Zermatt station the electric taxis and the hotel e-cars take you to the door. By public transport from Malpensa the same trip means three or four trains and around four and a half to five hours with your ski bags.
We also drive to Saas-Fee, which is reached by car, and to Visp, Brig and the other villages of the Valais. Check your price and book online →

Geneva is about 3 h 30 to 4 hours along Lake Geneva and the Rhône valley, and Zurich about 3 h 30 using the Lötschberg car train. Linate and Bergamo add 30 to 55 minutes compared with Malpensa.

Why Cars Stop in Täsch
Zermatt has been car-free for decades: only small electric vehicles run in the village. Every private car, taxi and transfer stops at the Matterhorn Terminal Täsch, 5 km below Zermatt, where the shuttle train leaves about every 20 minutes and takes 12 minutes. Luggage trolleys can be taken onto the train, and at Zermatt station electric taxis and hotel e-cars wait for arriving guests. Many hotels collect you at the station if you tell them your train.
The Simplon Pass and the Swiss Border in Winter
The Simplon Pass (2,005 m) is kept open all year and is the usual winter route from Milan; after heavy snowfall chains can be required for a few hours, and our cars are equipped for winter. If the pass is closed, we use the car train from Iselle to Brig through the Simplon tunnel. The route crosses into Switzerland at Gondo: Switzerland is in the Schengen area but not in the EU, so customs checks can happen and every passenger needs a valid passport or national ID card. For a Malpensa flight on the way back, we usually suggest taking the shuttle from Zermatt about five and a half hours before take-off.
