Cervinia Stats
Nestled in the heart of the rocky, North-West Alps, you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to an Italian version of Narnia as you reach the end of the snow-topped pines and arrive at the foot of the holiday village. Airport transfers direct to your door from either of Italy’s Turin or Milan airports and Geneva means you won’t find yourself lugging your skis and boots in tow as you seek out your accommodation. The resort’s nearest train station can be found at Châtillon Saint-Vincent, 28km from the resort, and has a good bus and taxi connection between the two.
This Northern mountain village is traffic-free, meaning you’re at ease to stroll amongst the characteristic streets of mismatched modern apartments and traditional Alpine chalets, enjoying an array of hearty restaurants, bars, supermarkets and boutiques. For local produce, try La Maison des Gourmands for great Aosta Valley cheeses like Fontina and Fromadzo. If you’re not in the mood to shop on a day off from skiing, there’s a fantastic range of snow activities including air boarding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.
This little firecracker of a village- mostly peaceful from Monday to Friday - crackles and comes to life at the weekend as the Italians ascend for a spot of weekend skiing themselves.
A top resort for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities, with green and blue runs tailored to nervous beginners; varying difficulties of reds for intermediates and black pistes with plenty of off-piste opportunity for experts. A standard 6-day ski pass is the Breuil-Cervinia Valtourneche pass, with the possibility to extend to all of the Aosta Valley after 3 days. International weekly passes can be purchased to include Switzerland’s Zermatt, adding another 200km. Daily tariffs are available for all nearby resorts if you fancy a bit of mid-week travelling.

You’ll find the restaurant a bit further away from the main hub but well worth visiting for Italian and Swiss mountain classics.
