Getting to the top lickety-split is easy on any number of the drag, chair, cable lifts or gondola. One ski pass for six days (for around 250 Euros) gives access to Zermatt in Switzerland too, making the grand total more than double - 350 km of skiing terrain (and the cost isn’t much more than paying for the general Breuil- Cervinia Valtornenche ski pass).

Snowboard park description The Indian Park, Europe’s highest snowpark, at an altitude of almost 3,000 metres, and one of the best in Italy. Over 400 metres long and over 100 wide, with its 40,000 square metres of snow, it’s ideal for all levels of riding. There are three different jumping lines for beginners, intermediate riders and experts. We have 3, 6 and 11-metre kickers, alongside jumps which get bigger and harder, until you reach the legendary “Decolletor”, over 18 metres high! You’ll find an infinite number of rails to satisfy your need for adrenalin.
From the easy 4-metre flat box to the 7+7-metre kink rail-descent and the 2 mega walls which are 4 metres high and 6 metres wide! And are you ready to tackle the fearsome Doggy House, which is nearly 3 metres high?! But the excitement doesn’t end here: in Cervinia’s Indian Park an increasing number of new events await you every year: from the “No Pro Indian Circuit” open to everyone, to the “Peanut Butter rail Jam” or the “Desfass” at the end of the season. We look forward to seeing you!
