We have just completed 6 days skiing in the Italian-Swiss alps at Cervinia. We did the Club Med programme which included all meals, lift tickets and instructor/guiding and a bunch of snow enthusiasts from all over the world to ski with.

The main ski area at Cervinia is nestled between the alps, there are many lifts, goldalas and cable cars to get to the top. Top to bottom is a very long run, there are quite a few flat areas and runouts, so a variety of pitches. Our guide also took us over to Zermatt in Switzerland which can be accessed on the single ticket. Some great skiing over there and very pretty. All this in the shadow of the Matterhorn.
