The sports that bring the region to life, blending nature, tradition and pure adrenaline

Connections to Zermatt and Valtournenche also allow you to ski across an international ski area, offering over 350 km of slopes in total between Italy and Switzerland. This makes Cervinia an ideal destination both for those looking to relax on the easy slopes and for more experienced downhill skiers.

In Breuil-Cervinia, the trail offers a 3 km loop, suitable for both beginners and experts. It is usually one of the first trails in the Alps to open, thanks to the natural snow and the altitude.

The trail, located in the area of the summer golf course, lies on the outskirts of the village, close to the centre and in a sunny spot. As you ski along the trail, you can enjoy views not only of the Matterhorn but also of the Grandes Murailles.

In Brusson, the cross-country ski trails are considered among the most beautiful and technically challenging in the Val d’Ayas. Nestled on a wide plateau at an altitude of around 1,660 metres, the area offers a picturesque natural setting, surrounded by larch and fir forests and dominated by the peaks of the Monte Rosa massif.

After a brief theoretical introduction, you will be the ones to guide the sledge, pulled by a team of magnificent Siberian huskies, along the route that runs alongside the Marmore Torrent, immersed in silence and surrounded by panoramas of extraordinary beauty.

Children under the age of 9 will be accompanied by an instructor and will travel in the sledge’s bag, in complete safety.

After a brief initial briefing and simple instructions from the expert guides, you’ll set off to discover the most picturesque corners of the Matterhorn valley, traversing silent woods and expanses of pristine snow.

It is an immersive experience suitable even for children, an original and surprising way to experience the mountains in winter. Excursions of varying duration and length, suitable for everyone, with more dynamic routes for those with greater driving experience.

Trips can take place either during the day or at night and, on request, can include a stop at a mountain hut for a convivial break before returning to the valley, still on snowmobiles.

A special opportunity to immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the high mountains and take in the landscape from a different, unhurried and authentic perspective. On horseback, you’ll ride along scenic trails waiting to be explored, through meadows, woods and alpine vistas, in close contact with the flora and fauna of a unique mountain environment. To try your hand at horse riding, please contact the “Cavalieri del Cervino” riding school.

The activities are designed for all levels and ages: beginner lessons for children and adults, English and Western riding, rides lasting from one to four hours for more experienced riders, pony rides for children aged five and over, as well as pony games and fun treasure hunts.

From a simple 2-hour hike, perfect for beginners, to a more challenging trek, there are plenty of options for wonderful hikes beneath the Matterhorn!

In the Aosta Valley, heliskiing is permitted thanks to a regional law that regulates the activity on clearly defined routes and areas.
