Breuil-Cervinia: Cervinia - Plateau Rosa
Few places in the Aosta Valley have a history as closely tied to Alpine mountaineering and skiing as Breuil-Cervinia. The resort occupies the Breuil basin at the head of the Valtournenche valley, beneath the Matterhorn, the sharply pyramidal summit shared by Italy and Switzerland. Its pistes and lift network extend high onto the border terrain and connect with Zermatt, making this one of the Alps’ best-known cross-border ski areas. The mountain’s Italian climbing story is inseparable from Jean-Antoine Carrel, who reached its summit in 1865. Breuil-Cervinia’s built-up core is compact, while the terrain above is shaped by broad ski slopes, ridges and high-altitude stations.
