Cervinia, Italy
The extensive ski resort of Cervinia / Valtournenche is situated in
Italy’s scenic Aosta Valley, with extensions over the border into
Switzerland. Known as the ‘Queen of the Snow’, this vast snowy area
begins at 1,524m in Valtournenche, embraces Breuil-Cervinia, rises up
to Plateau Rosà at 3,480m, touches the 4,000-metre peak of Piccolo
Cervino, and climbs to 4,478m, the top of the Matterhorn.
Despite their popularity, the villages of Cervinia (known as Breuil
before the early 1930s) and its lower neighbour, Valtournenche, have
retained their traditional Alpine atmosphere and way of life. In
Valtournenche, there is a pleasant square dedicated to the famous
mountain guides of the Matterhorn, celebrating the village’s
mountaineering tradition.
There are 110kms of downhill runs at Cervinia, which interconnect with
40kms of ski runs at Valtournenche, making up a total piste distance of
150kms in the resort. The main gripe of serious skiers is that there
isn’t a great deal of skiing for advanced and expert levels in the
immediate Cervinia / Valtournenche area, with most slopes geared
towards beginners and intermediates. However, the ski resort’s high
altitude means that snow conditions are almost always good, and the
numerous interconnected pistes afford fabulously long runs.
The ski season at Cervinia / Valtournenche is extensive, running from
November to the end of April. Special offers on accommodation are
available in various hotels from the beginning of winter season to
December 19, from April 2 to May 1, and from December 3 through 12
(Feast of the Immaculate Conception).
