A really fantastic run in magnificent snow conditions. Pretty challenging slopes but well worth a try.

Plateau Rosa

Reviewed By KKTSkiing - Glen Ridge, United States

Spectacular views over both Italy and Switzerland. Great skiing the day after a storm. Highly recommend getting the international lift ticket to let you cross the border and ski down the other side

Cervino Breuil-Cervinia Ski Area

An infinite snowy area that begins at 1,524 metres, in Valtournenche, embraces Breuil-Cervinia, rises up to 3,480 metres of Plateau Rosà, touches the 4,000 m peak of Piccolo Cervino, climbes up to 4,478 m to the top of the Cervino. An area where the infinite snow continues on the Swiss side to Zermatt. An area where the snow is the setting of sport, holidays and fun. The tourism vocation of Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche had it’s beginning more than two hundred years ago. Excursionists and academics were the pioneers of a tourism that united sport, scientific study and intellectual exchange. In 1936, a new Breuil-Cervinia was created. The construction of the first cable car was a cutting-edge work of engineering excellence. The Hotel Gran Baita situated at the foot of the slopes, with the cable car departure station annexed to it, anticipates by over half a century the concept of an integral complex for skiing. Breuil-Cervinia became the Queen of the snow. From sport to cinema, politics and commerce, those who count meet here. Innovation, in Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche, is the key word. New ways to practice sport, new ways to enjoy a holiday, new services to allow more free time. The technology is not limited to the rapid lift systems, but also to the territorial fibre optic network that allows the information to be transmitted in real time. Time and space dimensions have changed thanks to the e-skipass, to the keycard and to the hotel reservation system via the internet. 350 thousands web navigators every month visiting the site to check out the webcams, weather reports, lift status and snow conditions. In Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche, collaboration between the operators in the area guarantees guests quality and state of the art solutions.

Great snow sure ski area, based on the Italian side of the Matterhorn and is linked within an area pass with Zermatt, Switzerland. New links are currently either planned or in progress to ensure easy movement around the mountain. I particularly recommend this area for intermediate level skiers, but equally it will appeal to all levels. Apres Ski is more subdued than Austria etc but there are plenty of very good quality bars, restaurants, shops and ski service facilities.

La Thuile

Reviewed By Aerosmithkelly

We stayed in Planibel Apartments. It was a 6 bed apartment (for 4 people) but it meant that we had a spacious apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 double bed and a bunk bed. The lounge/ kitchen also had 2 beds (sofa beds). It had a shower room and a bathroom, 2 bedrooms, the lounge kitchen had sofa, basic hob, fridge and microwave and we had a space to hang wet ski clothes and store bags. It was basic what you paid for but for us 2 adults and 8 year old and 3 year old it was brilliant. We loved it. It had a lift to the room. Then she the lift to the bottom to get to the lockers where you could store all your ski boots etc. Was great to be able to get changed walk 50 meters be on magic carpet or 100 meters and be on the gondola and up the top of the mountain. We used the Crystal childcare and can highly recommend for our 3 year old. We just used in morning and picked her up for lunch and skiing in afternoon but was available all day. We also used the butchers, supermarket, cafe with fab hot chocolate and ice cream and the pizza place nearly every day and all was perfect. Short walk into town with lots of lovely shops. Can highly recommend. Will be back.
