The Guide del Cervino refuge is located in the Aosta Valley, in the Valtournenche valley, at 3,480 meters above sea level.
Built in Testa Grigia, right on the Plateau Rosa glacier, an excellent starting point for many mountain excursions: ascent of the Breithorn, Pollux, Castore and crossing of Monterosa. The structure can be reached from Breuil-Cervinia via the Matterhorn cable cars ski lifts or on foot in about 3 hours of walking and 1,480 meters of altitude.
Just a few meters from the refuge are the ski resorts of the Zermatt region: a fantastic opportunity to ski in winter and summer (summer skiing) using the refuge as a base.
Located on the Italian-Swiss border, the refuge is an important reference point for skiers, mountaineers and hikers who want to discover the magnificent mountains of the Aosta Valley and Switzerland.

Reachable from Cervinia on foot with a trek with a 1400 meter difference in altitude or with the ski lifts at a cost of €41 return.
Adequate clothing and equipment (boots/shoes) is essential because the last km is on a glacier.

Strategically TOP position
Exceptional views from the terraces
Too bad the only mountain you can't see is the Matterhorn, the cable car structure obstructs the view......😡
