Introducing Valtournenche
Some of Europe’s highest-altitude skiing is possible year-round in this valley dominated by the 4478m Matterhorn, described by English poet Byron as ‘Europe’s noble rock’. From Valtournenche’s prestigious ski resort, Breuil-Cervinia (2050m), you can ski into Zermatt (Switzerland). Smaller skiing areas include Antey-St-André (1080m), La Magdeleine (1644m) and Valtournenche (1524m), 9km south of Breuil-Cervinia.
