The sunny slopes above Cervinia are perfect for intermediate skiers and that’s before you even include the vast options across in Zermatt

The high-altitude ski resort of Cervinia not only guarantees fantastic snow coverage but also gives access over the border to Zermatt. For that you will need an upgraded lift pass. You can notch up some serious vertical – the 22km route from the Klein Matterhorn to the village of Valtournenche has a drop of more than 2300m – all on well-groomed pistes that are now increasingly equipped with snowmaking to improve snow reliability even further.

Pros and cons

Fantastic cruising for intermediates
Sunny, high and snowsure slopes
Incredible views of the Matterhorn
Significantly cheaper than over in Zermatt

Can be challenging and cold in bad weather
Wind can close the upper lifts
Expert skiers need to head across to Zermatt
Not a huge amount to do in the village

On the Slopes

Prices are significantly lower than over in Switzerland and the food is fantastic, both in terms of value but also quality. Accommodation is mostly within the compact village centre, but a collection of ski-in-ski-out hotels are located just above and to the east of the centre.

The slopes are high, open and mostly very sunny thanks to their westerly orientation. When the weather is bad however, visibility can be poor and wind closures are a possibility – especially for the lifts crossing to Zermatt. But the high altitude does mean you don’t need to worry about the snow as most of the pistes lie well above 2000m, giving the resort one of Europe’s longest seasons.

For Beginners

A limited day pass covers the village nursery slope, with its long magic carpet and a chairlift to progress to right nearby. Complete beginners should start there before graduating to a great flat area around Plan Maison and the gentle blues above. It is common for fast learners to have reached the top after a couple of days, using the network of blues to return to the resort.

For Intermediates

Cervinia was almost designed for intermediate skiers and pretty much the whole area can be covered comfortably by early intermediates. Wide, rolling pistes drop down from the Swiss border, whilst the epic runs down to Valtournenche are more than in reach and always prove popular with Ski Club members. Stronger intermediates should definitely purchase the Zermatt lift pass upgrade to explore the full 295km of blues and reds in the Matterhorn Ski Paradise.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

Although Cervinia does not have as much steep on piste terrain as neighbouring Zermatt, it does have some great off piste which often remains untracked for longer than many resorts. In addition, it has access to some great heli skiing routes including Tête de Valpelline and the Monte Rosa, which can be explored with local mountain guides.Ski tourers and racers are also well catered for with designated ski touring routes including one from Plan Maison to Theodulpass.

The resort is home to a hugh terrain park, the highest in Europe – and of course there is the option to head over to Zermatt.

In the Resort

What was an old climbing village has grown in to a full-blown ski resort. The cobbled main street is traffic free and whilst it is not the most picturesque, the surrounding scenery is impressive. Much of the evening action happens in hotels, but there are some decent bars and restaurants – serving excellent Italian food.

For Families

As a snowsure destination for families this is a good bet, however when the weather is bad the slopes can be inhospitable for younger ones. The ski school is right in the village centre and there is a natural ice rink with a view that most can’t claim – it looks up directly at the Matterhorn. Many of the hotels have good facilities for children.

For Après

Cervinia is relatively quiet on the après front, but happy hours are a popular feature at bars in resort including Lino’s and The Yeti, especially during the spring months when the resort basks in evening sunshine. To explore the best that the entire resort has to offer, the Ski Club Rep’s social hour rotates on a weekly basis.

Getting to Cervinia

The easiest way to get to the resort is via a transfer. Turin airport is under two hours away and Milan Malpensa lies around two and half hours away. Arriving by public transport is more complicated and takes almost twice as long – catch the train to Chatillon and then get the bus up to the resort. All times listed below are for road transfers.

Turin airport: 2 hours
Milan Malpensa airport: 2.5 hours
Milan Linate airport: 3 hours
Calais: approximately 15 hours driving (733 miles)

Season Dates

Opens: Saturday 26 October 2024
Closes: Sunday 4 May 2025

Summer skiing is normally made available to skiers on the glacier at Zermatt – accessible from Cervinia – soon after the winter closing date.

A local pass is available for Cervinia only (including Valtourneche), but intermediates upwards will want a full area lift pass.

Snow Overview

Italy

Updated 02/05

The weekend opens warm across Italy, with the freezing line hovering around 3,500m. This will fall over the course of the weekend and into the new week, and as a layer of cloud cover moves in this brings with it precipitation.

This will fall as snow in parts especially across the northern Alps. Up to 20cm could fall in the Dolomites and elsewhere, primarily across higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m when the snow arrives. A brief flash of sun through the middle of new week before another burst of unsettled weather moves in over the region later in the week.

Thus concludes the Ski Club’s snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who’s tuned in over the course of the season, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

I first put on skis in Moscow, aged 3, and then lived in Switzerland as a boy. During my adult life I have skied, taught and raced in multiple locations whilst managing a corporate career and, latterly, running my own business. As a rep I hope to meet new people and keep skiing in both new and familiar places. I am a keen gardener and am currently qualifying as a scuba diving instructor, the plan being to have fun in all seasons

Repping dates: 01/02/2026 - 15/02/2026

After a career working in offices, I have escaped!!

I love nothing more than being in the mountains – summer (cycling and hiking) and winter (skiing). The majesty of the high Alps, the wonder of fresh powder under blue skies and the complete freedom from the day-to-day. I have been skiing since the age of eight and enjoy touring, resort skiing (mainly in Switzerland and France) and off-piste (in fact anything on skis!). In my late 40s, I took up ski racing and now compete in the Mürren Inferno (www.inferno-muerren.ch) and other races across the Alps.

Repping dates: 15/02/2026 - 01/03/2026

I fell in love with skiing on a school ski trip as a teenager. Since then I have managed 1 or 2 weeks on snow most seasons. Having recently completed the Reps Course I’m excited to get the opportunity to spend more time in the mountains, hopefully phasing in more skiing with less time in my day job. Outside of skiing I enjoy windsurfing, sailing, hiking and mountain biking. I enjoy travelling, particularly exploring Europe in our camper van.

Keith Irvine

Repping dates: 01/03/2026 - 15/03/2026

I love to meet up with Ski Club members for a day on the slopes, preferably followed by a beer. An early 'career' in athletics (the days of Coe and Ovett!) ensured I was a late starter on the slopes at 42. I've since spent most winter hols on skis and, now retired, I'm determined to ski even more. The Geographer in me means I particularly enjoy making journeys through the landscape; ideal for all 3 of my Repping slots this year. Please try and pre-register if you are coming to ski with me in resort so I know to look out for you in the social hour or on the piste!

Hello members! I've been a snowsports addict for about 10 years and love the whole lifestyle that surrounds it. I enjoy using the entire mountain and like to get to every corner. I would describe myself as a freerider, not freestyle, i'm addicted to off piste powder although I do enjoy the jumps in the park or jibbing around off the side of the piste. In 2012 i spent 2 1/2 months in canada touring 13 resorts finding some little gems along the way and fresh powder at every resort . I also love motor sport ,big boys toys and most things that burn a hole in the ozone . I have competed in a couple motorcycle sports, even the Rachau hill climb in Austria where my friend and I were the only British competitors. Another must is my annual trip to the Nurburgring. i own several motorcycles , classic VW's and a fast n furious tokyo drift BMW .Please visit the social hour to discuss the next days events, I can change the programme to what people want and the snow conditions. All hail the powder
