Cervinia looks to the future with a new chairlift in Cretaz Area

The resorts Cervinia-Zermatt will open the new 2009-2010 season with a great news for lovers of skiing and Off-piste skiing. The work for the realization of Pancheron chairlift (2438m-2950m) are at an advanced stage and all the indications are that will be completed even earlier than expected, perfectly in time for October, the opening of 2009/2010 season.

The total cost for the construction of modern chairlift Pancheron is to Euro 11,500,000 and represents a tangible demonstration of the intention of the new Cervino S.p.A., with the fundamental contribution of the majority, the Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, which has supported the important work cableway.

With the new plant, the area Cretaz-Val Furggen returns to its former splendor. Somewhere season is running the chairlift from the center of the country reaches Plan Towers, at 2500 m; therefore lacked a final stretch, what to bring Towers Plan skiers in front of the old Furggen at 2950 m.

The scenarios that are opened are decidedly appealing possibility to ski on the track Pancheron, one of the most spectacular in Cervinia, known for being demanding and many changes of gradient. If you want to re-enter the country continues with the track "9a" and then to the famous "5" and enjoy a drop of one thousand meters at the foot of the Matterhorn.
Returned at the start of the new Pancheron will be reevaluated and rediscovered the "Grand Roc" and many small steps that make imaginative and diversified our runs, including off.  In particular, in the spring, the slopes of Val Furggen are known as the paradise for lovers of skiing off-piste and in the downstream have the right to cross wilderness areas and isolated, with frequent meetings of chamois.

Important point to emphasize is the opportunity to take advantage of the track "White Rocks", known as the land of races and workouts, with a fast rise compared to the previous year. From the top of Pancheron, in addition to enjoying an exhilarating spectacle of the Breuil basin, we may return to Plan Maison along the famous "Black Rock".
So many options for the new winter with the rediscovery of steep terrain and highly technical in a resort, Cervinia, too often described as a paradise of snow and blue runs.

Argentera

Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
