The Skiers' Guide to Cervinia - Breuil

Great resort, awesome skiing, amazing food and lovely people. Resort primarily red runs. Incredible views and able to ski next to the Matterhorn. Also able to ski over to

I don't have a lot of ski experience but I can say that for my family Cervinia has been great. Perfect mix of slopes for 1 snowboarder., my 10 year old intermediate skier and me, a 58 year old who only took up skiing 2 years ago. A very friendly and quiet little town. We are going back again next year.

Lovely small resort, easy to get around, great food, great vibes. We went for 4 days and had two epic days on the slopes.

Great resort, wide open runs in great condition. Super high resort so virtually guaranteed snow (and we got lots) . Some awesome restaurants on the slopes

Amazing resort with beatiful scenery at 3500m, very enjoyable runs and long lifts are very fast efficient and easy to navigate wwould highly recommend as lift pass is actually relatively cheap

Been going here since I was a kid
Loads of slopes for all levels
Apres is decent too - Love Cervinia

Great high altitude on piste skiing. Link over to Zermatt is sometimes closed so unless you know the weather is gonna be good buy a local lift pass and upgrade when needed. Also, if you have a car Torgnon it’s great if the weather gets snowy.

Great resort for a few days for advanced skiers/boarders. Handy that you can get over to Zermatt for a change of scenery and new ski area, but it can be expensive as you have to buy lift passes for two resorts for the day.

For an intermediate skier there is little to fault Cervinia. The vast majority of the runs are red runs but there are blues and a limited number of black runs. A great plus is the ability to go over the mountain and ski Zermatt so overall there is a large amount and good variety of terrain. The hotel I stayed in was excellent and generally there are a number of quality hotels. The town is lively without being wild and there are plenty of bars and restaurants. For someone who really only skis once a year this is a must go to resort and a resort to return to. Because the resort is high the snow was good even though it has not been a great snow year in the Aosta area. A high class place!

Excellent resort, particularly for beginners and intermediate skiers. Wide open and quiet pistes. Stunning views of the Matterhorn!

A great resort for intermediate to advance skiers with the opportunity to ski over to Zermatt. The runs are mostly wide and open and the mountains bars and restaurants reasonable for a al resort. The town centre is traffic free.

A great alternative to Zermatt at an affordable price. Lots of skiing on both countries. Super high and snow sure but can get windy which can close all lifts

Fantastic resort with easy access to the Swiss side of the Matterhorn. Cervinia has a wide selection of runs, fabulous scenery and it is really well groomed. Apres ski and love and some gorgeous bars and restaurants on the slopes

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!
