Cervinia Reviews by Customers

"Fabulous scenery, great skiing and a great place to spend a week!"

"Excellent resort for beginners and intermediates may be a little restricted for experts, but there is the opportunity to ski Zermatt as well. The red runs down from Plateau Rosa (6 and 7) are fantastic and lead all the way back down to the village. Great food and drink, excellent pistes, and a relaxed atmosphere make Cervinia an ideal ski resort."

- Mark Pattison

"Known more as 'The Italian Secret' Cervinia is one of the more popular ski resorts for the Italians; however, in recent years it has seen more British families and Russians make the trip to the top of Mont Cervino. The village is very quaint with many restaurants and shops. I can highly recommend the restaurant 'Jour et Nuit' especially if you love your god quality red meat and fine wines. The Village has 2 ski lifts and a junior nursery slope along with a gondola to the main ski area of Plain Maison where you have access to the entire mountain. From Cervinia you can ski over the mountain to Zermatt or across to Valtournenche. All in all I believe that this is a superb resort for the family and beginner/intermediate skier. There are some challenging black runs in the resort however there are many more on the run down to Zermatt. Well worth a visit, and a guaranteed snow resort!!!"

Ski Holidays in Cervinia, Italy

Cervinia is a high, snow sure resort with links to Zermatt. Most of the accommodation is either hotel or apartment based. There are no catered chalets. The centre of the resort is pedestrianised and is lined with bars restaurants and little Italian boutiques. Cervinia has been making great efforts in recent years to soften its image, particularly in the centre. Many of the buildings built in the 60’s have been reclad in wood.

The skiing is predominately suited to beginners and intermediates, advanced skiers can find some interesting runs particularly down towards Valtournenche. Beginners start on the village nursery slope and then can progress upwards and outwards to most areas of the mountain. Intermediates really have the run of the whole area and should not find anything which is beyond their capability. The link to Zermatt opens up a huge skiing area but is regarded as more useful for those based in Zermatt looking for an enjoyable cruise into Italy for lunch.

Cervinia’s après ski is lively centred around the numerous bars in the centre. There are some good discos to chose from, including the Garage, which has minibuses to drop you home at the end of the night.
