The Skiers' Guide to Cervinia - Breuil: Expert Analysis & Reviews

Cervinia is my favourite resort - it is isnt too busy and has an abundance of runs since you have direct access to all of Zermatt as well as Cervinia. Food and drink is good value and the locals are super friendly. The Apres scene isnt huge but everyone goes to the same few places creating an intimate and lively vibe. The resort is high so the season is long and you are likely to have decent snow.

Snowsure resort and snow was excellent in March fresh snow almost every night for a week. Mainly red runs wide and quiet. Lots of mountain bars & restaurants of good quality. We stayed above the main town so not too much experience of the town centre as a bus ride away but there seemed a good selection of bars, restaurants and ski shops. You can ski to Zermatt if weather is suitable and lifts all open as long as you have the relevant pass. Views of the Matterhorn are amazing. Our first visit to Italy with 2 teenage snowboarders who loved the fresh powder and the snowpark.

Ive stayed in cervinia on two occasions now (2022 and 2025). Its a beautiful resort and had the advantage of you being able to ski the Italian side of the Matterhorn but also the Swiss side down to zermatt so you get to ski Switzerland but for a much beeper price than staying at the other side of the mountain. Therefore the range of skiing is pretty good. Im recovering from injury so focused on blues and reds this year and there are plenty, especially if you ski over to Valtourneche. Weather can be unpredictable and cervinia is known for its wind but if the wind is high in cervinia itself you can still get on the slopes by getting a bus to valtourneche so wont miss a day. The lift system is great with relatively few queues and the bottom gondola and telecabine at the base station are usually no more than 15 mins at peak time. There are lots of lovely mountain cafes and there is a growing apres scene on the mountain now in addition to the report where bars like the yeti and Linos are well known for the apres. There are lots of lovely shops in the resort so if you need a day off, there is plenty to wonder around. Le Grotto and the Cime Bianci are probably my favourite little spots to eat with beautiful food, wine and traditional Italian atmosphere. Ive stayed in apartment and hotel accommodation and both were great options. I would definitely recommend it as a resort and will be returning again!
