FAQs about Cervinia ski holidays
Your questions answered by our Cervinia ski resort expert
What is Cervinia skiing like?
Cervinia skiing is excellent. Famed for its long, side “motorway” style pistes, Cervinia ski holidays are fantastic for intermediate cruisers and beginners, with the addition of some fine, peachy freeride powder over the border in Switzerland’s Zermatt.
Overall, given the scale of the terrain on offer and its connections to Zermatt, it's no wonder Cervinia has been designated a world-class ski destination.
Are Cervinia ski holidays snow-sure?
Yes, generally. Cervinia ski holidays are some of the most snow-sure in Europe, mainly due to the resort’s high altitudes, glacier access, and proximity to the Matterhorn. Because of this, the ski season here is exceptionally long, running from late October through May.
When’s the best time to book a Cervinia ski holiday?
- March and April are fantastic times to book a Cervinia ski holiday. Because of the resort’s high altitudes, it can be very cold and windy. Spring skiing in Cervinia offers warmer temperatures, better visibility, fewer crowds, and reliable snow cover.
- For family ski trips to Cervinia, embrace the enchanting festive atmosphere at Christmas, with outdoor ice skating, twinkling fairy lights, and glowing market stalls.
- Alternatively, book a trip during the February half-term to escape the crowds - the Italian schools don't break up at the same time as the UK, so it will be infinitely quieter on the slopes here than elsewhere in Europe!
Is Cervinia ski resort high altitude?
Yes. Cervinia is a high-altitude ski resort. The village itself sits at 2,050m, while the ski area reaches a lofty 3,900m at the peak of Gobba di Rollin. Because of this, it’s ski season in one of the longest in Europe, and it offers some of the highest pisted skiing in the Alps.
Is Cervinia a good choice for a beginner ski holiday?
Yes, Cervinia is excellent for beginner ski holidays. The Cretaz nursery slopes at the village provide a great starting point, with easy progression onto the Plan Maison ski area.
What sets beginner ski holidays in Cervinia apart from the competition, however, is its high-pisted blue runs, allowing novices to experience fantastic views and powder higher up the mountain.
Is Cervinia good for family ski trips?
Yes, Cervinia is great for family ski holidays. The resort itself is car-free and compact, with everything you need at your mitten-tips. Restaurants and hotels are all within easy walking distance, multiple lifts and gondolas depart from the edge of the resort, and there’s a beginner area right in the centre.
As for the slopes themselves, they are generally more cruisy intermediate than thrilling descents, making them friendly and non-intimidating to children, with more than a few allowing you to ski right back down into town once your down for the day.
Is Cervinia ski resort good for snowboard holidays?
Yes. Cervinia’s pistes are wide and lack a lot of flat sections, making them fantastic for snowboarders. Lifts and gondolas are easy to reach from the resort edge, and there’s also the nearby IndianPark, for freestylers, one of the highest and best-maintained snowparks in Italy.
What’s the closest airport to Cervinia ski resort?
Turin airport (TRN) is the closest, with a transfer time of around 2 hours.
Is Cervinia linked with any other ski resorts?
Yes. Cervinia is closely linked with neighbouring Valtourneche and Switzerland’s Zermatt, and makes up part of the 360km "Matterhorn Ski Paradise" ski area.
