As is tradition, Breuil-Cervinia is the first resort to open its lifts in the Aosta Valley, thereby inaugurating the 2012/13 winter season. Ski enthusiasts can hit the slopes this weekend (October 13 and 14), next weekend (October 20 and 21), and then every day from October 27 through May 5.
Right now skiing takes place on the snow of Plateau Rosà, where—in addition to the cableway network that takes skiers from Breuil-Cervinia up to 3,500 m on the glacier in about half an hour—the following lifts on Swiss territory are open: the Plateau Rosà 1, 2, and 3 drag lifts, Grenzlift, Plateau-Breithorn, and the Gravity Park.
The high altitude of the domaine skiable, stretching from 3,480 m at Plateau Rosà up to 3,889 m on the Klein Matterhorn, guarantees compact, already winter-like snow.
At the start of this season, “Pre-ski” rates apply, with the international daily ski pass priced at €49.00. Operating hours will be as follows: first ascent from Breuil-Cervinia at 8:10 AM and last descent from Plateau Rosà at 4:10 PM, with glacier ski lifts open from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
