The 7 best things to do and see in Cervinia

As soon as you arrive, we recommend you take a walk through the center of Cervinia, which has a very characteristic appearance being at the foot of Mount Cervino.

During the walk, we suggest you try the Tegole di Aosta, the typical cookie created by Aosta Valley pastry chefs in 1930, made from hazelnuts.

In fact, at the Sweet Side of Matterhorn pastry shop, you can have a snack break right in the center of Cervinia.

Cervinia is part of the Breuil-Cervinia ski area, among the largest and most spectacular in Italy: 350 km of slopes wind through the mountains, including the Matterhorn.

This ski area also hosts Snowpark "Indian Park" dedicated to snowboard lovers.

The cost of the ski pass, for this winter season, starts from 61€ per person. At the end of the day, we recommend stopping at the Super G in Cerivinia, for an apres-ski.

If you want to try the typical dishes, we recommend a dinner in a mountain hut with transportation by motor snowmobile at over 2000 meters, at the foot of the Matterhorn.

Two types of menù with typical Aosta Valley dishes, such as: tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms or pappardelle with duck ragù, goulash and bacon-crusted veal cheek, starting from 47€ per person.

Finally, we suggest a dinner with snowmobile transportation, at Torgnon, a 30-minute drive away, with a menù of Pierrade and Raclette or polenta. 

Throughout the year, we recommend reaching the Swiss border, on the Plateau Rosa glacier, where you can ski even in August.

We suggest you get as far as the "Guide del Cervino" mountain hut, located at an altitude of 3,480 meters, using the H Matterhorn Funiculars, or on foot or on touring skis starting from Breuil-Cervinia, in about 3 hours of ascent.

At the refuge you can stay and drink at altitude. For the return, you might consider descending by MTB, but only if you are experienced.

During the winter period, we recommend that you participate in a snowshoe hike accompanied by a mountain guide. 

The trail will wind through forests and mountains around Cervinia, with a duration of 2 hours, and è also suitable for children.

The experience costs 35€ per person, with equipment included. È can be booked through site.

We recommend, from June to October, trekking to the Blue Lake in Cervinia and the Layet ponds, three differently colored spring water pools.

From Breuil-Cervinia, we suggest you follow the CAI 107 trail, and in about an hour you will arrive at your destination. The trail è suitable for everyone, including families.

We would like to point out that there are no refreshment stations in the area, so è you need to bring water and snacks with you.

During the holiday season, we suggest a visit to one of the countless castles in the area of Chatillon, about 30 minutes from Breuil Cervinia.

In this hamlet, you can explore three castles of different origins. The most recent è is the Castle Gamba, built in the 20th century, while the other two date back to the medieval period: the Castello Passerin d'Entrèves and the Castello di Ussel.

The cost of the ticket to visit each castle starts from 5€ per person.
