There are major improvements at Italy's Cervinia ski resort this winter with the completion of a new cable car that climbs to the Swiss border and makes the connection to neighbouring Zermatt and Europe's highest lifts.
The new 140-place Cime Bianche Laghi – Plateau Rosà lift has all new cabins with panoramic windows for great views of the spectacular scenery.
Cervinia was one of Italy's first ski areas to open for this winter and other improvements guests can look forward to this winter includes several piste widening and regarding projects and better information panels around the slopes.
Events to look out for include ski tests every weekend, to try the latest models from the largest manufactures in the sector and if you're in the resort for New Years Eve don't miss the traditional Alpine Guide's and Ski Instructors torch-light procession and end of year party (30th December).
The resort also promises music on the slopes days throughout the season and wine tasting on the slopes with local Aosta Valley producers.
Guests can also sign up for moonlight descents with dinner in a mountain hut and then a safe descent with the pistes illuminated by the full moon, or an evening's snow-grooming shift and dinner with the Snow-cat pilots or the chance to enjoy first tracks, leaving your mark on the slopes before the official opening for the day, including a hot coffee on the cable car ride up
And that's not all. Activities to try in resort include a recently opened Ice-karting circuit, the cance to enjoy a snow-cat excursion with dinner in mountain restaurant or snowshoeing excursions on signposted and groomed tracks in the areas of Plan Maison to Cime Bianche Laghi and in the area of Salette in Valtournenche.
