Bormio 3 hours if you miss the saturday early rush. It normally takes us between 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 hours.

Cervinia is about 2 hours - give or take 20 minutes either way.
Gressoney is a similar distance. Access to the Monterosa area. Great off piste when the snow is good.

I'm pretty sure I flew into Milan when I went to Sauze, which was about an hour or so transfer.

Gressoney +1. Huge area. Intermediate and off-piste heaven. No nightlife though; village small and quiet. Re. Bormio - unless you're a beginner you'll ski it in a morning.

An hour or so from Turin perhaps,, but definitely a bit longer from Milan.

Just thought that - yes it was Turin. Not sure where I went to from Milan..... Maybe Livigno?

Fly to Malpensa, over the Simplon pass, to Zermatt. Just shy of 3 hours if you hoof it.
That's the best use of a Milan airport.

FTFY
I've been to Zermatt loads of times and love it but I'd never consider flying to Milan. Monterosa on the other hand...
