Skiing in Valtournenche

Valtournenche is an authentic alpine village in Italy, situated at the foot of the Matterhorn and 8 kilometres from Breuil-Cervinia at an altitude of 1528m. The village is characterised by beautiful, rustic houses, a white bell tower, and memorials of historic alpine guides along the walls. This charming village has certainly retained its authentic and traditional atmosphere.

The Valtournenche-Salette gondola will give you access to the Breuil-Cervinia and Zermatt (Switzerland) ski areas. Thanks to the connection to these areas, you can enjoy 200 kilometres of diverse ski slopes. After a memorable day on skis, you can find a high-quality and authentic restaurant in the centre for a delicious Italian dinner. Don’t miss the popular Foyer des Guides restaurant!

Are you interested in history? Then be sure to visit the Church of Saint Anthony and the Maison de l’Alpage museum. The church is famous for its beautiful white bell tower, and the museum is a great place to learn more about alpine pastures and agriculture, and how it has changed over the centuries.
