Mount Cervino

Mount Cervino, also known as the Matterhorn, is one of the most iconic and recognizable mountains in the world. Located in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it stands at an elevation of 4,478 meters (14,692 feet). The mountain has a distinctive pyramid shape, making it a popular subject in photography and a famous challenge for climbers.It straddles the border between Switzerland (Canton of Valais) and Italy (Aosta Valley). The first successful ascent was made on July 14, 1865, by a team led by Edward Whymper, but the descent ended tragically with four of the seven climbers falling to their deaths.The two most popular routes for climbers are the Hörnli Ridge (from Switzerland) and the Lion Ridge (from Italy). Zermatt in Switzerland and Breuil-Cervinia in Italy are the two main resort towns near the Matterhorn, offering a variety of outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and mountaineering.

Matterhorn

The Mighty Matterhorn Luxury Ski Holidays in the Matterhorn Valley of Cervinia, Italy offer some of the most superb skiing in the Alps. Cervinia is a high altitude resort at 2000 meters, dominated by the mighty Matterhorn, with reliable snow conditions throughout the Winter from December right through to April. The long, open runs and easy gradients of Plateau Rosa are ideal for advanced beginners and intermediates from which you can enjoy some fantastic views. More advanced skiers can head to Valtournenche and Zermatt, Switzerland for an incredible ski area at their disposal. Valtournenche is an old village approximately 9 km from Cervinia whilst Zermatt is on the Swiss side, both link into the ski area of Cervinia.  Cervinias biggest asset is its altitude and skiing continues well into the summer months on the attractive Plateau Rosa, set against a magnificent glacial backdrop. In addition there are plentiful winter activities to be undertaken such as ice-skating, snowshoes walking, snow bike, paragliding and climbing on the beautiful Via Ferrara del Gorbeillon. #lover'smilestone#lanternshow#hiking#naturalwonders#roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#beyondborders Do you know Toblerone chocolate? I guest most ppl ate it before or heard of it. The mountain on the package is Matterhorn! I finally get to see it in real! I just live this place so much! The only sad thing is I didn’t get to ski because you can only ski in the morning during the summer time! If you are interested in skiing in there during summer, remember to go in the morning! #beyondborders
