Spending most of my 2 week trip in Northern Italy but did want to get over to see Zermatt. Is there an advantage to staying in Visp or Brig over Zermatt? I imagine Zermatt hotel prices are considerably higher!

Brig is a local transport hub. It makes sense to sleep in it'ss small medieval town centre if you intend to make day trips to different places as
Aletsch Glacier
Riederalp,
Zermatt
Saas Fee
Crans-Montana
Lotschental
Val d'anniviers
Verbier
Chamonix
Bern
Interlaken
Isola Bella
Milan
Locarno
etc.
If you want to explore the Zermatt area, you may stay at Taesch (shuttle train to Zermatt until midnight).
