The Skiers' Guide to Cervinia - Breuil

We were a bit unlucky with the weather, high winds meant not all lifts were open and we were unfortunately limited to the lower runs, the lower runs were not the best for snowboarding, a lot of traversing. I would say the resort was more ideal for skiing but potentially just because of the limited runs available during the trip. plenty of options for food and the snow park was good but on the smaller side.

Apre ski was good, few pubs and bars around the place.

Great ski area and good prices and eating out. Great for families.. ski lifts and links over to Zermatt excellent. Not necessarily a 'party' resort but good value for money if you are a keen skier. Resort can get very windy and lifts close. Useful to have a car to travel to other less windy resorts in the Aosta valley if this is the case. I have returned several times to Cervinia due to excellent skiing and good value for money.

Really great resort, easy to get to. The lifts are quiet quick and efficient and there's loads to explore on the Zermatt side too. Would recommend.

Great high altitude resort, good lift systems and a good selection of runs for all abilities. Reasonable priced food and drinks.
The town itself has a really nice feel to it and plenty of shops to get what you need.

Great place for a beginner to dip their toes in snow sports - not a lot of apres options but I mostly just sauna-ed and chilled so I didn't mind.

Really great resort, I’d recommend getting lunch at any of the on piste restaurants as they’re all very nice and have great views

We came here mid-January for a birthday weekend. Easy to get to from Milan (we hired a car and the drive was simple, around 2/2.5 hours). Great town with lots of shops and restaurants.

Loved the skiing, pistes were wide, well groomed and quiet! Just a heads up for beginners - there’s not a lot of greens and blues. But for intermediate and advanced skiers, we loved the Red runs. We didn’t queue for any lifts. Lots of snow so managed to get some good off-pisting done.

Love Bar (on the mountain) and the umbrella bar (at the bottom) were both great apres spots.

First time at an Italian ski resort (we usually go to France), and would 100% return!

Stated at the wonderful Hotel Marmore which is 200 metres from slopes. The rooms were lovely and ski themed and the breakfast area was so alpine and gorgeous views of the slopes. The skiing and snowboarding was fabulous we also ate out at local restaurants which we couldn’t fault. The transfer time from Turin is about 1.5 hours and we took a private transfer which cost £150 each way.

Excellent resort, very high altitude snow sure and excellently pisted best conditions ever had for skiing in over 20 years of skiing. Runs for all
Abilities as well as option to ski over to Zermatt. Plenty of restaurants on the mountain too as well as Beautiful scenery. Hotels great selection and good eateries. Big shout out to the bar in the village called Copa Pan lovely staff and great value happy hour 2 for 1 drinks between 4-5pm.

Cervinia is pretty chill - no lift lines or barging and great slopes with a strong free-ride culture.

It's high, so it's snow-sure, but that does mean it can be windy and cold, especially with wind chill.

The link over to Zermatt closes with high wind, but the app always shows the status.

We visited Cervinia during the UK school holidays in Feb 2024. We found the resort to be busy, but not crowded. As with most resorts, once you get away from the first lifts of the day, then the queues are much better.
Great varied terrain in Cervinia, with plenty to keep everyone occupied throughout the week.
We visited as a large group, spread out over multiple accommodation options, that had a wide range of ability levels. No one was bored during our trip.
We also spent a couple of days skiing the runs in Zermatt, which was also a great experience.
Just watch out for the wind though, as this can pick up in moments notice. On our first day, we only had a handful of lifts operating due to the wind speeds.

Simply the best ski are in the world in my opinion. Senior skier now but I've skied every major resort in Europe. This shares Zermatt. Need I say more?

Lift queues not too long so plenty of time to ski. Superb views of the Matterhorn which looks completely different from the Italian side. Spectacular scenery. Opportunity to ski over to Switzerland if not too windy where the views are even better. Just amazing skiing against the backdrop of the Matterhorn. Much cheaper to be based in Italy because everything is so expensive in Switzerland.

Great skiing, decent apres, good pubs for live sports. Range of slopes for all levels. Went with Crystal ski, would definitely go back!

Brilliant resort with amazing slopes. The facilities are super good and there is an amazing vibe both on the slopes and apres ski.

Amazing for long, wide and open pistes with exceptional views. Fresh snow made conditions amazing. The link to Zermatt was only open 1/3 days, but managed to get over to the Swiss side on that day. Skiing under the Matterhorn was incredible!

Great lift system, with some chair lifts with heated seats! However, if you want to ski over to Zermatt, you need to upgrade your lift pass, which is very expensive.

Extremely cold early in the season and gets windy so we had 2 1/2 days of lift’s fully shut!
Great hotel, great restaurants, great resort on the whole.

Had such a wonderful Christmas here with friends and my husband.

There was plenty of fresh snow while we were there and they already had a great base so would say it's a safe bet for Christmas/early season skiing.

Such a reasonably priced place to go - hotels, restaurants and lift prices all really affordable as far as ski resorts go!

Excellent snow sure resort with a good mix of blue and red runs. The glacier was not accessible unless you have included Zermatt in the lift pass
