Beginners Zermatt/​Breuil-Cervinia/​Valtournenche – Matterhorn

Beginners will find many suitable practice areas in Zermatt, Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche.

In Zermatt, beginners can explore many points in the ski resort on easy slopes. Unfortunately, the entire ski resort is not accessible via easy slopes. There are beginner parks and slow slopes at certain stations. The Wolli Beginner Park is ideal for practicing the first curves on the people movers. Once you are secure on skis, you can move on to the slow slope to Eja or the Slow Slope Standard. There are some easy and wide slopes on the Gornergrat, a slow slope and the large beginner park on the Riffelberg. There is an additional beginner park with a practice lift on the Trockenen Steg where beginners can explore on a very easy and wide glacier slope. There is no easy valley run to Zermatt, so beginners must take the lift back down to the valley.

Breuil-Cervinia is very suitable for beginners. there are people movers right at the base near the Cretaz chairlift or in Plan Maison above Breuil-Cervinia. Advanced beginners can practice at the Campetto chairlift or in Plan Maison at the pommel lift and chairlift. An easy valley run leads down to Breuil-Cervinia.

Valtournenche has some things to offer beginners. There are multiple people movers at the mountain station of the gondola lift as well as easy slopes at the Motta chairlift. However, the valley run is intermediate.
