Skiing Holidays in Cervinia

Cervinia

Ski holidays in Cervinia

Holidays in Cervinia are very popular with British skiers not just because of the link with Zermatt but also its resort height, which is among the highest in Italy. With a resort height of 2050m, Cervinia has a great early and late season snow record making it a fantastic choice for ski breaks around both Christmas and New Years as well as the Easter holidays.

Cervinia Skiing holiday

Buying the full area international pass opens up a massive ski area comprising three resorts; Cervinia itself and Valtournenche, both in Italy, and Zermatt just over the border into Switzerland. Between them there is roughly 350km of piste on offer, about 150km of it on the Italian side of the border.

The Matterhorn Peak

One of the main attractions of Cervinia for skiers is the beautiful scenery. The resort sits in the shadow of the majestic Matterhorn and while the views from the Italian side may not be as stunning as those from the Swiss side, a room with a Matterhorn view will still take your breath away.

Accommodation in Cervinia Ski Resort

There is a good selection of ski holiday accommodation in Cervinia with the Chalet Hotel Dragon being a very popular choice. The all-inclusive Club Med Cervinia Resort is also very popular – in fact, it’s among the top 3 Club Med resorts for skiers year after year!

Intermediate skiing Cervinia *****

The intermediate skiing in Cervinia is plentiful. There is an abundance of challenging blue and red runs and enough skiing to keep even the most adventurous of intermediate skiers happy. From the top of Plateau Rosa there is a 10km run all the way down into the centre of Cervinia as well as a 22km run which takes you all the way down to the heart of the neighbouring Valtournenche. As well as the intermediate skiing in Cervinia and Valtourneche there is also loads of skiing available in Zermatt, on the Swiss side of the region and intermediate skiers will definitely want to purchase the full area international pass to benefit from the full 350km of piste that is on offer.

Advanced skiers will love the challenging black run which heads down towards Pan Torrette and the Bardoney mogul run.

Apres Ski in Cervinia

Apres Ski Info

Apres ski Cervinia

There is plenty of après ski in Cervinia but it is not a resort that has loud music blaring and people dancing on table from the moment that they take of their skis. There are a few lively bars and a couple of late licensed nightclubs. The main bars of interest are the Yeti Bar, Dragon Pub and Pub Grivola. the Dragon Pub is particularly popular with UK guests due to their live sports coverage. The two nightclubs are called L'Etoile and Bianconiglio and they tend to get busier from midnight onwards.
