Beyond the Slopes: 5 Experiences That Make Guests Fall in Love with Cervinia

When people think of Cervinia, they imagine powder-perfect slopes, ski lifts, and breathtaking alpine views.

But what truly makes guests fall in love with this destination goes far beyond skiing.

Whether it’s their first time in the Alps or their tenth, visitors are always surprised by how many experiences Cervinia offers — from fine dining to serene wellness escapes. As a CoHost, I love helping my guests discover the hidden gems that turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.

Here are five experiences that capture the true spirit of Cervinia — beyond the slopes.

1. Fine Dining at Altitude

Cervinia’s food scene is a delightful blend of Italian sophistication and mountain comfort.

From cosy chalets serving polenta and venison stew to gourmet restaurants offering local wines and truffle dishes, there’s something for every palate.

My local picks:

• 🍷 La Chandelle – refined alpine cuisine with panoramic views.

• 🧀 Ymeletrob – perfect for a cosy dinner after a day outdoors.

• 🍝 Wood – contemporary twist on traditional dishes, ideal for food lovers.

Tip for Hosts: Offering guests a curated dining list (with reservation help) is one of the easiest ways to elevate their stay.

2. Wellness with a View

After a day in the snow, few things feel better than relaxing in a spa overlooking the Matterhorn.

Cervinia has embraced wellness tourism, with several luxury hotels and local spas offering saunas, thermal pools, and massages.

Top picks:

• 🧖‍♀️ Saint Hubertus Resort Spa – private and serene.

• 💧 Principe delle Nevi – stunning outdoor heated pool with mountain views.

Encourage your guests to schedule their spa sessions early — weekends book fast!

3. Summer Hiking and Alpine Adventures

When the snow melts, Cervinia turns into an alpine paradise for hikers and explorers.

The trails open up to breathtaking lakes, waterfalls, and meadows that few tourists ever see.

Popular routes include:

• 🚶‍♀️ The Blue Lake Trail (Lago Blu) – a short and stunning walk.

• ⛰️ The Plateau Rosa trek – panoramic and ideal for photography lovers.

Host tip: Provide guests with trail maps, water bottle refills, and a picnic suggestion — small details that make big memories.

4. Golf at 2,000 Meters

Yes, Cervinia has one of Europe’s highest golf courses — and it’s as spectacular as it sounds.

The Cervino Golf Club sits at 2,050 meters, surrounded by glaciers and green fairways.

It’s a unique experience for golf lovers: playing under the shadow of the Matterhorn, where every swing comes with a view.

For guests new to the game, arranging a lesson or introductory session can add a fun and unexpected touch to their trip.

5. Local Culture & Hidden Corners

Beyond nature, Cervinia’s charm lies in its people, history, and traditions.

A stroll through nearby villages like Valtournenche reveals stone houses, local markets, and warm mountain hospitality.

Encourage guests to try:

• 🏡 Local cheese tasting in small farms.

• 🎨 Artisan shops selling handmade souvenirs.

• 🕯️ Evening walks through the village — calm, authentic, unforgettable.

Cervinia is more than a ski resort — it’s a year-round destination where sport meets style, adventure meets relaxation, and every guest can find their version of magic.

As a CoHost, helping guests uncover these experiences is what transforms a stay into a story — one they’ll tell long after the snow has melted.
