Cervinia

At 2000 metres, Cervinia is one of the highest resorts in the Alps, offering reliable snow conditions from December to April. The extensive ski area connects Cervinia with Valtournenche, and Zermatt in Switzerland.The long, open pistes such as the 10 km run down from Plateau Rosa, are ideal for intermediates, and more advanced skiers enjoy the 22 km run to Valtournenche. The local Alpine Guides run off-piste courses for confident intermediates, culminating in a full day escorted excursion to Zermatt. Access to the slopes from the village centre has been greatly improved with the development of new lifts on the Cretaz slopes. The centre itself offers a good selection of shops, lively bars and restaurants.
