So what's it like?
Italian hospitality and international skiing beneath the awesome Matterhorn
Cervinia is one of the highest resorts in the Italian Alps. It is dominated by the mighty Matterhorn and surrounded by some of Europe's grandest peaks. Cervinia's ever increasing popularity is due to its excellent snow conditions, long hours of sunshine, variety of runs and a compact resort centre offering plenty of après ski activity. With an area pass the ski area opens up to include Zermatt in Switzerland with some very challenging skiing. The centre of Cervinia is closed to coaches and access to central hotels on arrival and departure day is on foot, in some cases carrying luggage.
Ski information
Beginners
The Cretaz lifts serve a wide area of sunny nursery slopes leading down to the resort centre. Additional easy runs are plentiful at Plan Maison and under the tuition of the Breuil ski school beginners make fast progress and are soon moving up to the higher long, wide, undulating runs from Plateau Rosà.
Intermediates
Cervinia is an ideal choice for the intermediate skier - long sweeping runs with an occasional mogul field to add extra interest. Not to be missed is the Ventina, an 8kms run from Plateau Rosà. Choose a sunny day for a ski away day to Zermatt where a selection of runs and lifts link the two countries and their ski areas.
Advanced
With no less than 7 marked black runs there is plenty to satisfy the better skier in Cervinia. The long run back to Plan Torrette is not for the faint hearted nor is the Bardoney mogul run. On the Swiss side there is plenty of challenge including some very steep runs under the Furi cable car.
Nightlife
Fantastic après ski and nightlife with plenty of convivial cafés, lively bars and clubs. Try: • Grivola Bar • Yeti Bar • Dragon Bar • Copa Pan • Ymeletrob • Gasolene • Café des Guides for a relaxing atmosphere • Bianconiglio nightclub
Activities
Ice karting, natural ice rink, swimming pool, heli-skiing, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing
Eating out
Cervinia boasts an excellent range of cafés and restaurants. Pizzas and pasta from approx. €6, 3-course meals from €22 · Try the Copa Pan, Grivola or Matterhorn for good food and lively atmosphere. Don't miss La Table Ronde, superb cuisine in a lovely setting for a reasonable price.
