Winter Season at Valtournenche

Valtournenche, nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn in the Aosta Valley, transforms into a pristine winter wonderland, offering a more traditional and serene counterpart to its bustling neighbor, Cervinia. It serves as a vital gateway to the vast Matterhorn Ski Paradise, an international ski area connecting Italy and Switzerland, boasting over 360 km of interconnected slopes. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels find their paradise here, from gentle blue runs perfect for beginners and families to challenging red and black pistes, and exhilarating freeride opportunities. The village itself maintains a charming, authentic alpine atmosphere, with traditional stone and wood chalets, creating a cozy base for winter adventures. Beyond alpine skiing, visitors can indulge in cross-country skiing along scenic trails, snowshoeing through silent, snow-laden forests, ice skating, and even ice climbing on impressive frozen waterfalls. The winter season is vibrant with events, from torchlight descents to local gastronomic festivals, celebrating the rich culture and exquisite cuisine of the region.
