Here we will explain where Cervinia is located and describe its area. Finally we will talk about the possible ways to reach this mountain resort.

Cervinia is a mountain resort in the Valle d’Aosta, a region located in the north-west of Italy. It is one of the most famous locations for the practice of downhill skiing. In fact it is the undisputed capital of this sport. The winter season here lasts 6 months but even during the summer months it is possible to ski on the glacier Plateau Rosà . The history of skiing in Cervinia began eighty years ago with the construction of the first ski lift. Until that moment it was known all over the world as the cradle of heroic alpinism.
