Zermatt to Milan for flight

We are staying over Xmas holidays in zermatt and I am trying to decide if we should take train day before to MXP airport or could pull off morning of. Latter gives us more time in zermatt and less moving around to hotels with kids (teenagers)

Flight is at 11:05 am on a Saturday- I have priority with airline so would assume 9 am arrival at airport I am fine.
Has anyone had any experience doing private shuttle morning of?

Best I can tell I would need to take train at 5:30 to tasch arriving at 5:42 for pickup….i don’t think there are earlier options.
What I can’t tell is how risky is this strategy - Google maps makes me think it’s doable and a shuttle service made me think it’s doable, but…..

Thank you for input

Zermatt lacks public road access, as you've noticed, and a shuttle is likely to be very, very expensive. Also, the Simplon pass is normally kept open year-round but snow clearance could delay you.
I'd spend the night by Milan airport, annoying as it is.

Note that you do not need to go all the way to Milano to get to the Airport. If you go by train take it as far as Domodossola, and take the bus (or a taxi) from there.
