At the airport
Confirm T1 or T2 for a pickup or airport coach. Malpensa Express serves Milan city railway stations, while Aosta Valley coaches use a separate terminal. Match the first leg to the actual onward departure point.
Flying into Milan Malpensa Airport for a ski holiday
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) is northwest of Milan and has two passenger terminals. Both have Malpensa Express rail access to Milan, but airport rail does not continue straight into the Aosta Valley. For Cervinia or Courmayeur, compare a direct road transfer with the airport shuttle to Milan Lampugnano and a valley coach. The best arrival terminal, connection and final village depend on the flight and accommodation. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Milan Malpensa Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Cervinia requires a final mountain ascent from Châtillon; Courmayeur follows the upper Aosta Valley. Check winter equipment, traffic and the last valley coach before travelling.
