Cervinia ski information
With the Matterhorn as a stunning background for the exciting runs, and the link to Zermatt creating over 350km of piste, Cervinia boasts the highest lift in Europe and one of the longest runs. With its excellent snow and sunshine records enjoyed by skiers and boarders alike, it's little wonder this resort is one of the most popular in Italy.
Skiing and snowboarding in Cervinia
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.
Ski Information 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.
Ski Information 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.
Ski Information Snowboarding
Freeriders should make a bee line for the Cielo Alto area for a few powder turns. Freestylers and beginners will not go home disappointed either, plenty to keep you happy. There is a snowpark located at Plan Maison.
