 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
Looking to get from Zermatt to either Champoluc or Gressoney in the Monterosa region of the Aosta valley, Italy in the next few weeks. Travelling with luggage, so train/bus ideally as not driving. The distance as the crow flies seems about 30km but I realise there are some rather large mountains in between...
Is this transfer even feasible/manageable? Advice badly needed

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

You will need to confirm the details but take the train from Zermatt to Brig, train from Brig to Milan ( I think Malpensa Airport would be best) and then shuttle bus service to the Monterosa ski resorts. The journey from Zermatt to Milan is four hours or so. We have done the direct route in summer but not with luggage......

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'd also look at a train to Chamonix, bus through the tunnel to Aosta, (may need to change in Courmayeur), then bus to Gressoney. There'd be a lot of changing, a car would be a lot easier

Given the length of the journey otherwise that is not a bad idea, depending on numbers.

Lift upto the top of Zermatt, ski down to Cervinia with luggage on a sledge. Get bus from there. Or get a helicopter.

I have skied from Zermatt to Gressonay in about two hours from the top of the system. No glaciers involved.

Thanks jbob, presume that's off piste ? We’re not really at that level I'm afraid, humble lower intermediates here. Plus probably difficult to do with our luggage!
