Spend there recently few days skiing over new years time. Slopes were very well prepared and actually queues were not too long which was great particularly considering time of the year. Its a place where you can easily do over 50km a day skiing and never be bored of it! And views are just breathtaking

I've skied a lot, well over 200 weeks but oddly enough I'd never skied Cervinia until this winter. 16th December week so not everything was up and running in the resort. Snow fall had been excellent prior to arrival but the notorious wind had been high too. That made all the off piste rock hard wind blown crust. However the piste conditions were excellent. Inspite of the high winds the resort kept the slopes pretty much ice free throughout the week. Great variety of slopes though it was very quiet. Don't know how it would be when it's busy. I didn't find many challenging black runs but again not everything was open and I didn't have time to check out much of the Zermatt side. Lifts were pretty good, not many closures apart from when the wind was high. Good layout providing alternative routes too. On slope restaurants and cafes, much better quality and value than you find in France. Friendly staff too. That was a big plus on a couple of the super cold days we had. Some great end of day bars up the slope and down in the resort too. Had to use a couple of ski shops for things and again I only have good things to say. We stayed up on the mountain in Lo Stambucco Hotel at the top of the Plan Maison lift because we were prioritising our skiing that week rather than apres. I mean, if you want to get first runs every day, then that (or Super G) are the places to stay. Overall had a great time and I'm going back for the last week of the season but this time staying in the town.

About to return to Cervinia for our fifth time, we love it for the stunning views across the alps and at the base of the Matterhorn, you can pop over to Zermatt in Switzerland for a change of scenery if the mood takes you, the restaurants on the slopes are brilliant, we are staying at a ski in ski out hotel which is family run, we will keep returning until we are too old to ski.
