Exterior

With an unbeatable location at the foot of the piste in Cervinia, the Hotel Dragon is a great choice for your next ski holiday. The hotel has recently had a sophisticated full make-over.

Lively Wine Bar

The bar and lounge have been transformed into a lovely authentic wine bar with the use of warm alpine materials. Sign up locally and put the taste buds to work as you indulge in a selection of carefully selected wines in a tasting to remember.

Our favourite location is the outdoor terrace. During the sunnier weeks of the season it becomes a suntrap with some of the best views of the Matterhorn from the Italian side of the mountain. The hotel has a lively après scene and a live DJ from 16:00-18:30 every day, there is no better place to enjoy a cool refreshment.

Location

There's plenty of shops, bars and restaurants close by and it's just a short 150 metre walk through the snow to the Cretaz lift. Getting back to the hotel is even easier as you can ski all the way to the road opposite the hotel (weather permitting) - that's if you can resist stopping at one of the many bars that line the bottom of the slopes next to the lift.

Newly Renovated

Along with the common areas, the bedrooms have had some TLC and provide a spacious and comfortable base for your stay.

Cervinia

Resort altitude: 2,050m
350km of skiing
27 blue, 64 red and 5 black runs
1 hour 45 mins by coach from Turin airport

As one of Europe’s highest ski resorts, great snow conditions and an impressive glacier come as standard. What truly makes this resort stand out is the towering site of the Matterhorn and just how close it is. That mixed with the rest of the incredible surrounding landscape and you have yourself the perfect setting for what is simply an amazing ski resort.

Skiing and snowboarding in Cervinia

Cervinia is known for its extensive ski area and as you head up the mountain to the high peaks of the Plateau Rosa you will appreciate the impressive lift system which connects you to Valtournenche as well as the famous Swiss resort of Zermatt.

Almost an endless network of runs means there is plenty of variety and places to explore as well as some superb off-piste runs. With an International ski pass you have the best of both worlds, so definitely worth it if you want to get the miles in and explore the full area.

Where to stay in Cervinia

We have a great selection of accommodation offerings in and around Cervinia. You can expect excellent Italian hospitality and the food and wine selections are second to none. Select one of our hotels with pools and wellness areas if you are looking for a bit of extra relaxation off the slopes.

Valtournenche

A couple of our hotels are located just outside of Cervinia in the peaceful town of Valtournenche. Just ten minutes drive from the centre of Cervinia and sharing the same ski area, these hotels are perfect for guests looking to experience the incredible Aosta Valley Ski Area in tranquil surroundings. If you want to explore the town, getting from Valtournenche to Cervinia is simple, with a direct bus route included on your lift pass.

Bars and restaurants in Cervinia

The village of Cervinia is a good size and there is lots to see and do. Along the font of the slopes you will find plenty of bars overlooking the piste, many serving lunch with an epic view of the Matterhorn.

Later in the day the music is turned up and you have a great range of après bars to choose from. Further into town along the traffic free cobbled streets you'll find plenty of shops to browse as well as some great hidden little pizzerias, perfect if you want a slice for lunch.

Being based on the Italian side of the mountain definitely has its benefits, what with great food, service full of Italian flair and let’s not forget it’s a lot cheaper than over the border with our Swiss friends.

Things to do in Cervinia

In and around the resort there's a massive selection of things to do. Rev up the engine and have a go at ice karting, take to the skies and feel the adrenaline of tandem paragliding, have a dip in the local pool or visit the highest ice grotto in Europe over on the Swiss side of the mountains – whatever you're after and whatever the age range, there's something for everyone in this authentic Italian resort.

Dinner take place in a private dining area next to the bar, so perfect if you get carried away chatting or listening to the live après acts. Most nights you can enjoy a lovely three-course meal but the themed nights come with an additional course and occasionally take place in the basement 'Speak Easy' wine bar.

While you do need to pay for all drinks locally, we highly recommend taking advantage of the hotels comprehensive wine collection at dinner. With over 200 labels to choose from, the staff are more than happy to help you select the right tipple to compliment the menu.

Planning to stay over New Year? Don't worry, the festive meal is included in the cost of your holiday.
