ℹ️ These figures refer to the Matterhorn Ski Paradise (Zermatt – Cervinia) ski area, shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The values shown here and on the neighbouring resort pages therefore describe the same ski area and the same lift pass: they are not added together.
The 322 km, 51 lifts and lift pass listed are those of the international Zermatt – Cervinia – Valtournenche ski area, shared by Breuil-Cervinia, Valtournenche and Zermatt (Switzerland). The breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres for each difficulty level. Breuil-Cervinia sits at 2,050 m at the foot of the Italian side of the Matterhorn. Its ski area, linked to Zermatt via the Plateau Rosa glacier, climbs to 3,899 m at the Petit Cervin. The long red runs, some of which descend all the way to Valtournenche, and the altitude that guarantees snow make it one of the flagship resorts of the Italian Alps.
