Breuil-Cervinia, famous as a winter and summer resort. It
is situated at the south foot of the Matterhorn (Monte Cervino). The village
has 1 indoor swimming pool, 1 cinema, 5 discos.
At 2,050m, with slopes rising to 3,883m, it is one of
Europes most snow-sure resorts, a place where long runs right down to
village level are pretty much certain from the beginning of December until
early May. The resort is ideally suited to beginners and intermediates, with
long, undemanding runs against a beautiful backdrop.
The substantial ski area is linked with Zermatt, and their joint ski area
comprises 62 lifts, giving access to far more challenging pistes on the
Swiss side for which you can pay a daily supplement.
Access: Cervinia is located at the head of its own
valley, off the Aosta Valley, and is 140km (87 miles) from Turin airport,
and is accessed from the Aosta - Turin motorway.. Drivers from the North and
West should enter Italy through the Mont Blanc tunnel from Chamonix in
France. The Gran San Bernardo tunnel from Switzerland brings drivers to the
motorway at Aosta. From Aosta it is about 12 miles to Chtillon where you
exit the A5 and head up the final 19 miles to Cervinia via Valtournenche.
Chains should be carried in case of snowfall. Drivers from the south will
arrive on the same motorway, the A5, from Turin or Milan, heading in the
opposite direction.
There are five free and one chargeable car parks in the resort but cars tend
to park anywhere, including in the pedestrian zones at weekends, which have
only temporary barriers to stop them. The nearest rail station is at
Chatillon, 27km (17 miles) away, from where there is a bus connection.
