Italy, Cervinia - scheme of tracks
The total length of the Cervinia tracks exceeds the figure of 360 km, and the routes of different levels of complexity are sufficiently far apart from each other, which makes riding them as interesting and safe as possible. Cervinia tracks will surely amaze guests with differences in altitude, as well as beautiful nature. With the maximum comfort to get to the chosen place of riding will help 8 funiculars and more than 30 different lifts.
Cervinia tracks are unlikely to please high-level catchers. But those who own mountain skiing on a solid "four", the sloping and not very difficult Cervinia tracks will surely be liked. Those who make the very first steps in conquering the peaks will come to the aid of an experienced instructor. Schools of skiing are happy to accept adults and children from five years old, and not reached this age will entertain the friendly and experienced staff of kindergartens.
The main areas for skiing in Chervnya are located on the slope to the Valturansh valley, Plato Rose, Plan-Mezon and Laghi-Chime-Bianche. Plateau-Rose is famous for the fact that it was the main base for training the Soviet national team in alpine skiing in the middle of the last century. Today Plateau-Rose is distinguished by a huge variety of high-speed descents of different lengths. Plan-Mason can be recommended for those who consider mountain skiing as a way to bring themselves into a tone, but it does not set itself any sporting goals. Lagi-Chime-Bianca is glad to see skiers with any level of preparation on its routes, from uncertain beginners to adrenaline-thirsty pros. Although professionals will be much more interesting to see the ski area Bardony, which is located in the Swiss part of Cervinia. Here they will be able to test their strength on the highest level of difficulty.
