About Cervinia

Cervinia, perched at 2050m beneath the mighty Matterhorn, is Italy’s high-altitude gem offering epic snow, long ski seasons, and jaw-dropping views. It’s a dream spot for snow lovers — and even better, the hotel prices are far friendlier than across the border in Zermatt. Stay central for charming ski hotels and buzzing apres vibes, or head slope-side for cosy ski-in, ski-out lodges. Whether you're after luxe comfort, family ease or budget-friendly bases, Cervinia delivers.

Cervinia is a high-altitude ski resort that’s perfect for intermediates and beginners alike, offering long, snow-sure runs, gentle nursery slopes, and stunning mountain scenery. Set beneath the towering Matterhorn and surrounded by dramatic peaks like the Jumeaux and Grandes Murailles, it blends thrilling skiing and mountaineering history with a lively apres-ski scene along its charming, pedestrianised main street. While the modernist architecture may surprise those expecting quaint chalets, it adds character for those interested in design — and whether you’re here for the slopes, the hiking, the food, or the views, Cervinia has plenty to impress.
