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.
