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 area on easy slopes. However, the entire ski area cannot be accessed via easy slopes. At several stations, there are individual beginner parks and slow slopes. The Wolli Beginner Park Sunnegga is ideal for your first turns. Here, there are several magic carpets, and once you feel confident on skis, you can try the Slow Slope to Eja or the Slow Slope Standard. At Gornergrat, there are some easy and wide slopes, a slow slope, as well as the large beginner park at Riffelberg. The beginner park features several magic carpets and rope tows. Another beginner park with a practice lift is located at Trockener Steg. Here, beginners can also explore a very easy and wide glacier slope. There is no easy valley run to Zermatt, so beginners must always take the lifts back down to the valley.

Breuil-Cervinia is very well suited for beginners. Magic carpets are available directly in the valley at the Cretaz chairlift or in Plan Maison above Breuil-Cervinia. More advanced beginners can practice at the Campetto chairlift or in Plan Maison at the button lift and the chairlift. There is also an easy valley run leading to Breuil-Cervinia.

Valtournenche also offers a lot for beginners. In Salette, at the mountain station of the gondola, there are several magic carpets as well as easy slopes at the Motta chairlift. However, the valley run is of intermediate difficulty.
