An overview of the trip
Mountain village in the heart of the Italian Alps

Recommendation
Hospitality is a key theme everywhere around the Matterhorn. Whether it’s a hotel, B&B, farmhouse, villa, apartment or mountain hut you’re looking for, the Aosta Valley has an extensive range of accommodation on offer that’s sure to meet the most discerning of tastes.
Besides the superb natural surroundings and plethora of sporting activities on offer, the Italian cuisine is a treat not to be missed. Traditional dishes and typical Italian food are the perfect complement to your Italian stay, whether served by the ski slopes or in one of the village restaurants at the foot of the Matterhorn.
With its vastness and majestic appearance, the Matterhorn (or “the most elegant rock in Europe” as one bygone admirer described it) has always been an irresistible attraction for lovers of mountain sports. The traditional figure of the mountain guide remains an important aspect of life here today, along with many other traditions which are still carried on and celebrated.
You’ll find it hard to forget this valley once you’ve seen it, especially if you have personally gazed in admiration at the Matterhorn. But Mother Nature was not satisfied with creating just one masterpiece – there are also lakes in which the beautiful surroundings are reflected, woods, serene meadows, roaring waterfalls and more besides. There is so much to see and explore around the Matterhorn.
The mountain landscape at the foot of the Matterhorn is just waiting to be explored on two wheels. Between Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche, a variety of routes wind their way through stunning scenery, along alpine trails and to spectacular viewpoints. The latest generation of e-bikes and mountain bikes, combined with the central location in the heart of Breuil-Cervinia, ensure a comfortable start to every cycling adventure.
