Breuil-Cervinia
Breuil-Cervinia sits at the head of the Valtournenche, facing the Italian side of the Matterhorn, known here as the Cervino. Its high, snow-sure slopes link with Zermatt across the border. Skiers love its long cruising runs. Public transport from Geneva is slow and complex, so a private car is by far the simplest way to arrive with all your gear.

Chauffeur's tipThe Valtournenche road is long and winding; on snowy days your chauffeur fits chains if needed, so plan a calm departure with plenty of margin for your flight.
The route from Geneva Airport to Breuil-Cervinia
Your chauffeur usually crosses into France and follows the A40 Autoroute Blanche to Chamonix, then takes the Mont Blanc Tunnel into Italy. From Courmayeur the A5 motorway runs down the Aosta Valley past Aosta to the Châtillon exit, where the road climbs north up the Valtournenche to Breuil-Cervinia. Depending on conditions, the driver may instead go via Martigny and the Great St Bernard Tunnel to Aosta. Either way, the trip crosses into Italy.
Arriving in Breuil-Cervinia
The resort sits at the very end of the valley, below the Matterhorn, with hotels and apartments around a compact centre and the lifts close by. Your driver drops you at the door of your accommodation, or at the nearest point if part of the centre is closed to traffic. From Cervinia you can ski to Valtournenche lower down the valley and, on the international area, over to Zermatt in Switzerland.
