Hello Shanzac and Welcome to MySwissAlps,
Fly into Zurich and catch a train to St Moritz. Next day proceed to Milan via Tirano.

Or fly into Geneva or Zurich and proceed direct to Zermatt. Next day proceed to Milan.
Use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) or the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to plan your travel, find fares* and buy tickets if required. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. *SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, mobile app allows you to nominate full or half-fare and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass) if that offers the best fare.
Hi Shanzac and welcome again to MySwissAlps!
As always excellent suggestions from Rockoyster. Of the two I personally think the Zermatt route would be more impressive than St Moritz.
If you have time from Geneva you can see a bit of Geneva or stop in Montreux on the way to see Chillon castle, the scenery there is beautiful so I would advise to do Geneva if you can. St Moritz is also amazing in particular the train ride, and Zurich is also worth seeing of course.
