Piste map of Cervinia
The piste map of Cervinia shows a high-altitude ski area in Valle d'Aosta stretching from 2050 to 3 480 metres above sea level, with 150 kilometres of groomed pistes served by 21 lifts. The map shows how the network links into the Matterhorn Ski Paradise, which totals 360 kilometres of piste and connects Cervinia with neighbouring resorts beneath the Matterhorn massif. The widest and most easily accessible runs lie around the village centre at 2 050 metres, while steeper and more demanding sections are found higher up towards the top stations. The considerable vertical drop makes the map unusually expansive compared with many other Alpine resorts.

How to ski in Cervinia
Cervinia sits at 2 050 metres, and it is around the village centre that the widest and most easily accessible runs are found. Beginners and families can essentially step out of their accommodation and reach the first lifts without going far, as the network opens up directly above the village with plenty of blue pistes making up 40 per cent of the ski area.
The higher you climb towards the top stations at 3 480 metres, the steeper the terrain becomes. The red sections, which account for 30 per cent of the piste area, lie in the middle zone, while the black runs, around 10 per cent, are found on the more demanding flanks at the very top, where the gradient and exposure increase noticeably.
Cervinia forms part of the Matterhorn Ski Paradise, a linked network totalling 360 kilometres of piste that makes it possible to ski between several resorts beneath the Matterhorn massif. With 150 kilometres of piste and 21 lifts in its own sector, it takes a full day to make the most of the vertical drop between village and summit, and anyone wanting to cover the entire network should expect not to manage it all in a single day.
One practical tip is that the considerable vertical drop means snow quality varies noticeably depending on where you are. The higher sections often hold better snow further into the season, while the pistes closest to the village can become heavy later in the day once the sun has warmed them. Mornings are generally quieter, before queues have had time to build up at the lifts near the village centre.
