Hotel Cervino, Cervinia – 5* luxury ski and golf

 

Hotel Cervino, Cervinia

Anne, our Senior Ski Specialist was fortunate enough to visit this beautiful hotel recently – here is her report on an exceptional stay.

As soon as you approach the hotel, your eye is drawn to the towering Matterhorn. rising above Cervinia and  in sharp relief against the azure blue skies.   We visited in mid-December when many ski resorts were still awaiting their first real snowfall, but Cervinia enjoys fantastic conditions from early until late, with ski areas available for 11 months of the year, thanks to the Plateau Rosa glacier.   We skied under those blue skies, with sunshine and lovely snow, before returning to the comfort of Hotel Cervino, via our on-call driver service.  The hotel is only a couple of minutes drive from the base of the gondola or the start of the pedestrianised village centre, with its cobbled streets, pretty church, cafes, bars, and shops.

However, I was surprised to learn that Cervinia isn’t only a winter destination,  only offering snow sports.  From June to September the 18-hole, Par 69 golf course – the highest in Italy – offers the same dramatic backgrounds, but – with green replacing the white – the lush surroundings and fresh mountain air provide a different experience for all golfers.   If you’ve only ever played on traditional inland or links courses in the UK, or warmer climes in Spain or Portugal, this Alpine course, winding along the River Marmore, is a new adventure.  Summer in the Alps is a revelation, with warm, sunny days rather than baking heat, that make walking, hiking OR golfing, a pleasure. 

The Hotel Cervino can organise golf stays for your society or team, with great discounts on the green fees for it’s guests, plus transport to and from the Club House and the first tee, in just a few minutes.  Golf clinics run weekly through the summer season, offering golfers of all levels, expert tuition and guidance from professionals.

Once your round is over, and the driver has safely deposited you back at the hotel, the pool and spa facilities provide the perfect end to a perfect day of golf, before an evening of excellent food and wine.  If you prefer to have an apres-golf beer in the village, that’s no problem – the driver will collect you when you’re ready to head back for dinner.

Skiing OR golfing in this truly amazing location, is an experience not to be missed.  Get in touch for a tailor-made quote – anne@born2ski.co.uk or call on 01723 336226
