Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for Cervinia - Breuil
Total (3.7)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
The highest ski resort in Europe, it enjoys a virtually continuous season. The area boasts extremely long slopes with equally steep elevation changes. Snow is guaranteed, and the views are breathtaking, with numerous peaks over 4,000 meters, including the iconic Matterhorn. With upcoming investments in the facilities, the climb from Cervinia to the plateau will be even quicker. The Ventina slope is a must-try.

I spent a few days in Cervinia to go to the glacier, but the lift opening hours aren't compatible with the snow conditions and the current climate. The opening time is 8:30, which isn't always respected, and then there are always unexpected events that delay departures. Let's ignore the kindness of some of the cashiers.

A wonderful resort, when I went for the first time I had to go back immediately after three weeks and I will definitely go back there.

Zermatt-Cervinia is undoubtedly one of the world's most magnificent ski resorts. It boasts a vast number of long, varied runs, often several kilometers long. Off-piste descents in deep snow are also possible. It's not uncommon to overcome enormous vertical gains in a single descent. The greatest of these is the descent from the Kleine Matterhorn (3,820 m) to Zermatt (1,600 m), a total of over a dozen kilometers of descent and just over 2,200 m of vertical gain! Such a descent, if attempted non-stop, requires excellent fitness and steel legs, and is a real challenge even for advanced skiers. All this at high altitude, surrounded by towering peaks, including the legendary Matterhorn and Monte Rosa – the second highest peak in the Alps – and set against a magnificent alpine backdrop. This is essentially a region designed for advanced skiers who don't mind the altitude of nearly 4,000 meters. Finding accommodation in Cervinia is practically impossible. Therefore, accommodation is essential in one of the villages on the main branch of Val d'Aosta, at a mere 500 meters above sea level. From here, a daily drive takes almost an hour to the high Valtournenche (car access to the higher Cervinia is very limited). If we decide to ski on the Swiss side, we must return via high passes to the Italian side before the afternoon lift closure. If we don't miss the lift closure, a long, almost 10-kilometer, strenuous descent awaits us (in one place with a short chairlift, which still needs to be operational) to Valtournenche. Otherwise, we're forced to spend the night in Zermatt, Switzerland – one of the most exclusive resorts in the world – which will significantly reduce our budget. However, a trip to the Swiss side is worth it if the weather is good and we have enough time, and such a trip is a wonderful adventure for an experienced skier. Beginners and mothers with small children, however, have nothing to look forward to here, unless their activity, after the cable car ride up, is limited to admiring the views. In short: a wonderful, top-class region, designed primarily for advanced skiers. Based on years of experience in Austria, Italy, and France, I consider it the best resort in the Alps.

Cervinia is the TOP resort par excellence, boasting high-altitude facilities, consistently abundant snow, and trails of all types and levels, from beginners to experts. The only drawback is the lack of a fast connection between the two main slopes (Bontadini and Plateau), and the connection to Valtournenche closes too early in the afternoon.

I've been coming to this resort for years with my family and friends, drawn by the beauty of the place and the quality of the slopes. However, I must express my disappointment with the conditions of the high-altitude slopes, especially in the morning.
I've noticed, and I'm not the only one, that these slopes aren't properly groomed at night, making them dangerous for skiers. We pay a high price for a service that should guarantee safety and enjoyment, not difficulty and worry.
I understand that slope grooming can be complex, but I believe it's essential to invest more resources in this activity, especially in high-altitude areas. If the situation doesn't improve, I fear many skiers, including us, will be forced to look for alternatives.
I hope this constructive review will be taken into consideration, in the interest of all ski lovers who wish to have a positive experience at this resort.
