'Breuil-Cervinia' (Valdôtain: ''Breuil'') is a renowned high mountain alpine resort in the Valle d'Aosta autonomous region of Italy. Administratively it is a ''frazione ''of the ''comune'' of Valtournenche.
Situated at 2,006 meters (6,581 ft) above sea level, just under the Cervino (Matterhorn), it shares a large ski domain with Zermatt in Switzerland.
Cervinia is a well-organized resort, offering the tourist any sort of accommodation, sporting facilities and recreational opportunities. It has some very long ski runs (the longest, reaches some 22km overall from the Klein Matterhorn in Switzerland down to Valtournenche in Italy) for any level of skill, from beginners to advanced.
A panorama of high, glaciated mountains surrounds the valley where the bustling little town has been expanding in the last decades. Monte Cervino dominates the view from the highest points, and the impressive ridge and sheer rock face of the Jumeaux on the western side stands as a significant landmark. In winter, the sight of little avalanches running down the steep rocks is not uncommon.
