Matterhorn Mountain Trails (Trekking)

Cervinia is a gateway to numerous breathtaking hiking trails. The 'Grand Tour del Cervino' offers a multi-day circumnavigation of the Matterhorn, while shorter, iconic routes include the ascent to 'Lago Blu' (Blue Lake), a picturesque glacial lake famous for its intense blue color and reflections of the Matterhorn, easily accessible from the village (approx. 1-1.5 hours round trip, easy-moderate). Other notable trails lead to the Plan Maison area, Cime Bianche lakes, and across to Valtournenche. Difficulty ranges from easy family strolls to strenuous high-alpine expeditions. Many trails are well-marked with estimated times and difficulty ratings. Available from late May/early June to October, depending on snow conditions.
