Cervinia sits high on the Italian side of the Matterhorn, known locally as Monte Cervino. At 2,050 metres, the village enjoys one of the best snow records in the Alps, with a season that often stretches from October into May. Wide, sunny slopes and a relaxed Italian atmosphere make Cervinia a favourite for skiers who value space, sunshine, and reliability.
The ski area connects directly with Zermatt, creating one of the largest cross-border domains in Europe. From the Plateau Rosa glacier, you can enjoy some of the Alps’ longest runs, including a 20-kilometre descent back to the village. Intermediates will love the forgiving terrain, while advanced skiers can cross to Switzerland for more demanding challenges. At 3,480 metres, the glacier guarantees excellent snow throughout the winter.
Cervinia balances simplicity with style. The après-ski is more about aperitivo culture than crowded bars, and dining ranges from rustic pizzerias to elegant restaurants serving Piedmontese specialities. Accommodation has expanded in recent years, with new high-end hotels and chalets complementing the traditional offering. For those who want reliable skiing with a distinctly Italian flair, Cervinia delivers in abundance.

Skiing in Cervinia is defined by scale, altitude, and flow. The pistes are wide and confidence-boosting, making it ideal for long, relaxed days on the mountain. Intermediates in particular love the open terrain, with gentle gradients that encourage cruising rather than constant stopping.
The connection with Zermatt expands the experience dramatically, offering over 360 kilometres of linked skiing across Italy and Switzerland. Advanced skiers enjoy steeper runs and off-piste opportunities on the Swiss side, while the Italian slopes remain sunny and forgiving.
Snow conditions are consistently strong thanks to altitude and glacier access, and the lift system is efficient and easy to navigate. For skiers who want big days without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, Cervinia delivers skiing that feels expansive yet approachable.

For those seeking more than skiing, Cervinia offers adventure with Italian flair. Try heli-skiing, snowmobiling, or paragliding beneath the Matterhorn, or take a slower pace with snowshoeing, ice skating, and glacier walks. The resort’s link to Zermatt expands the options, while in town, spa hotels, wine bars, and cosy trattorias make for effortlessly elegant evenings.
Cervinia is known for its wide, high-altitude slopes and long, flowing runs, ideal for intermediates and confident beginners. Its glacier connection ensures excellent snow reliability and smooth conditions throughout the season, with pistes that remain open from late November to early May.
Yes. Cervinia is fully connected to Zermatt in Switzerland, creating one of the largest cross-border ski areas in the Alps with over 360 km of pistes. A shared ski pass allows skiers to explore both sides of the Matterhorn, though weather and wind can occasionally affect the link.
Cervinia is particularly suited to intermediates and cruising skiers, thanks to its wide, forgiving terrain. Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on steeper descents toward Zermatt, or explore guided off-piste and heli-skiing routes around the Plateau Rosa glacier.
The ski season runs from late November to early May, one of the longest in Europe. The best snow conditions are typically from December to March, while April and early May bring softer snow and quieter slopes with plenty of sunshine.
Non-skiers can enjoy snowshoeing, paragliding, or ice skating in the village, as well as spa days, shopping, and mountain dining with panoramic views. Scenic cable car rides to the glacier and day trips to Zermatt offer more variety beyond the slopes.
Cervinia is located in Italy’s Aosta Valley and is around 2 hours from Turin Airport, or 2.5–3 hours from Geneva and Milan. Transfers are straightforward by private car or minibus, and The Camel Collection can arrange chauffeur or helicopter transfers directly to resort.
Cervinia works exceptionally well for families. The resort’s wide slopes, gentle gradients, and reliable snow cover make learning to ski feel calm and confidence-building. The Cretaz area in the village centre provides dedicated beginner zones with easy lift access, keeping logistics simple for parents.
Local ski schools, such as the Scuola di Sci del Cervino, are experienced with children and families, offering group lessons, private tuition, and English-speaking instructors. Progression feels natural here, with gentle blues that allow families to ski together without pressure.
Off the slopes, there’s plenty to keep younger guests entertained, from ice skating and snow tubing to scenic cable car rides up to the glacier. Many properties are well set up for luxury family ski holidays in Cervinia, offering flexible accommodation, childcare options, and family-friendly dining. It’s a resort that makes family skiing feel relaxed rather than demanding.
