Sightseeing in Breuil-Cervinia - what to see. Complete travel guide

Breuil-Cervinia is a large resort that is ready to welcome its numerous guests all year round. This mountain resort is situated in a beautiful and picturesque place – the Valtournenche Valley. The region has many high mountains, such as the Monte Rosa, Breithorn, Castor, and Matterhorn. These mountains safely protect the valley from winds and low temperatures, so the weather is fine almost all year round. The resort is worth visiting at least for the sake of ascending above the clouds in a ski lift. There are not so many places in Europe where tourists can feel like flying. The period from December to March is the best time to visit the resort.
The history of Breuil-Cervinia started yet in the 18th century. At that time, the top of Mount Cervino was like a magnet for alpinists from all over the world. Many people tried to conquer the mountain and get to its top. This interest gave birth to a small settlement that evolved into Breuil-Cervinia. As the closest village to Monte Cervino was at some distance, many alpinists started making camps at the foot of the mountain. Soon, houses appeared instead of tents and temporary huts. The settlement was growing and turned into a town and a popular resort.
The name of the town, Breuil-Cervinia, is not random. Locals translate the name as “the land rich in water”. It is easy to see that this name describes the region well if you decide to explore it. There are many mountain lakes, various rivers, and fast streams. Breuil-Cervinia was a small and not popular town that rarely had guests until the 30s of the previous century. However, the launch of the Cervino Company drastically changed the steady and unhurried lifestyle of local people. The company built the first ski lift in 1936, and this event changed the town, turning it into a popular mountain resort. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

The main skiing areas are the following: Plateau Rosa, Plan Maison, and Cime Bianche. All of these areas are located high above the sea level, and only true fans of extreme activities can explore all the trails that they have.
In the Plateau Rosa, go down using the ski lift and you can visit the local Breuil-Cervinia Museum. The venue has a very unusual location – this is the highest museum in Europe. The museum’s exhibition is dedicated to people who worked hard to build first ski lifts and make a small alpine village into a popular resort that we can see nowadays. Indeed, this was a difficult task, and so it is interesting to see numerous old photographs and tools. The entrance is free, and the museum always welcomes guests of the town from 10 am to 4 pm.
