‘Cervinia’Cervinia is based on the Italian side of the Matterhorn and is known for its long seasons due to high altitude and plenty of sunshine. Cervinia’s 200km of runs are best suited to intermediate skiers and snowboarders, beginners will still find good coverage, but experts will need to catch the lift to nearby Zermatt for more challenging runs. As with Zermatt, Cervinia’s views are outstanding, however the accommodation and additional activities are more limited.
Review by editor ‘Snowboarding in Cervina - its got a bit of everything’Cervina is one of my favourite resorts, it’s got a bit of everything which is what I prefer as a freeriding fanatic. There are seven parks, my favourite is the Indian Park, and plenty of different terrain. Some of the best on-piste boarding is at Fornet and Ventina, which comes off a glacier and it’s challenging without being too steep. Again I’m going to tell you that the scenery is spectacular. Cervina is probably best for beginners and intermediates and I’ve found it a good place to build my confidence. I suggest it to a lot of my students because I’ve always found there’s plenty of space and the vibe is quite friendly. There’s also good resort life. Cervina is right on the boarder so you have to carry your passport at all times. I thought it was a joke when people told me that but it’s true, I’ve heard some horror stories about the language barrier and dealing with police asking you for details, so it’s simpler just to carry ID. The season is quite long here, from about October to May.
