Cervinia
represents the mountain centre for entertainment. A place known world-wide and rightly
considered one of the most elegant and smart resorts of the Alps. The Matternhorn big
pyramid, as all the area, has become a synonym for climbing, hiking, skiing, nature and
fashionable social élite. During the winter season, thanks to the connection with
Valtournenche and Zermatt skiing areas, Cervinia offers more than 200 kilometres of
slopes. In the summer too you can ski on the attractive Plateau Rosa, which offers
the possibility to practice this discipline for most of the year. Breuil-Cervinia doesn't
mean only skiing and mountains. In addition, you can play golf and tennis or dive in the
local swimming-pool and practice many other sports.Plenty of opportunities for taking
full advantage of your staying here. You can combine sports and amusement, so to spend
your leisure time conveniently in one of the local restaurants, pubs or discos.
During the last century the first Matternhorn ascents, that signed the modern
Mountaineering birth, started exactly from here. Valtournenche, 1524
kilometres of altitude and 18 kilometres far away from Châtillon, is just nearby
Breuil-Cervinia and thanks to the lift connection with the latter, it represents a unique
and immense skiing area.
An unforgettable view on the "most famous
pick of Europe" will charm you. Climbing and walking for any kind of skill and
experience are at your choice and allow you to see many alpine animals and flowers. So
that because, here, there's the Cignana natural oasis created by Aosta Valley Government.
A nice square dedicated to the famous alpine guides of
the Matternhorn celebrates the mountaineering tradition of Valtournenche. Here, as well,
you can find plenty of opportunities to enjoy your holiday, for example you can visit the
Gouffres des Busserailles, an incredible big hollow dug on the rock by the Marmore river
or have a pic-nic on the Champlève area. Moreover, Valtournenche allows you to ride
horses, play tennis and practice many other sports. |
