Every way from Zurich to Cervinia

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 Cervinia. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows.

Get a quote

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.

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.

Train and bus to Cervinia: official guide

Hire car

Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay

Driving 387 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Cervinia. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Return transfer: Cervinia to Zurich Airport

Book the return at the same time. Work back from your flight: allow 6 h 7 min on the road, extra time if it has snowed, and at least two hours at the airport for bags and security. On Saturdays leave earlier still.

Choose the return direction on the booking page.

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.
  • The road to Cervinia climbs high into the mountains. 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 Cervinia" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
