Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Cervinia
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi, it’s been over a decade, perhaps a dozen years, since I was last on here so hello again.

Anyhow, I’m off to Cervinia with some beginners in early April and would be grateful if anyone can advise of very easy slopes to use and progress on that are as safe as possible.

Thanks and regards, Kevin

Hi,

Welcome back - I was away for a few years too!

If you have a car there are some great beginners slopes above Valtournenche - the blue runs up from Salette IIRC (you see a number of instructors there with beginners). There are also some good blues immediately above Plan maison - piste 8 and the long piste 5 might suit.

There's a drag lift running up from Plan Maison. The piste has such a shallow gradient that snowboarders often have to take off their board and walk. Perfect for learning to snow plough. Someone filmed it:

If they are open to being a bit more adventurous, and the weather is conducive, you could get the lift right to the top, Plateau Rosa, and then ski the blues on the Zermatt side. As this is all glacier, the pistes are incredibly even, with scarcely a bump, and are also super-wide, so very low risk of collisions. To get an idea, have a look at this video:

Beginners should probably not ski the reds on the way back from Zermatt, so get the lifts down.
