Breuil-Cervinia: cross-country skiing with a view of the Matterhorn

In Breuil-Cervinia, right on the edge of the village and just a short walk from the centre, a scenic 3 km loop offers the perfect setting for both beginners taking their first steps on narrow skis and experienced cross-country skiers.

Its privileged location and altitude, combined with the availability of natural snow, normally make this one of the first cross-country trails in the Alps to open for the season. Located in the area of the summer Golf Course, the trail enjoys a sunny position and easy access, allowing you to focus on your sport without giving up convenience.

As you glide along the tracks, every turn reveals a new perspective on the surrounding mountains: the majestic Matterhorn dominates the landscape, while the Grandes Murailles complete a setting that makes every outing on cross-country skis an unforgettable experience.

Valtournenche – Champlève: cross-country skiing in the heart of nature

Around two kilometres from the centre of Valtournenche, the hamlet of Champlève offers a peaceful mountain setting where the silence of the snow and the beauty of the landscape become an integral part of the experience.

Among snow-covered woods, open meadows and unspoilt nature, the cross-country trail features three loops, designed for skiers of different abilities:

• Approximately 3 km for beginners, ideal for getting to grips with the technique while enjoying the scenery;
• 2.5 km of medium difficulty, for those looking to increase their pace and challenge themselves a little more;
• 3.8 km featuring a medium-to-difficult climb, for those seeking a more demanding and rewarding workout.

At Champlève, cross-country skiing becomes a unique way to discover the mountains in winter, away from the crowds, breathing in the crisp mountain air and travelling through landscapes that seem to have come straight from an Alpine postcard.
