 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello!
Staying in cervinia and having a lovely time.
We are a family of 5 with 14,12 and 9 year olds. All good skiers and can manage all reds, and even the 9 year old occasional blacks if not moguls.
We want to ski over to zermatt tomorrow and would love some advice about best runs. Not bothered about seeing zermatt village. Have heard good things about the sunegga quarter but that looks a long way. How far can you get (and back! ) in a day? For reference my 9 year old takes about 15 mins to get from the top of the 3 chairs - theodulpass- back to plan maison.
What time do we need to be on the lifts to get safely back to cervinia?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

It's been a very long time (10+ years) since I was there but they had signs at the bottom of most of the lifts in zermatt saying something like "last lift to Cervinia xxx" with the timings being reasonably conservative.
In terms of sunnega I would just work my way over that way and see how far you get.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You might get some ideas from this recent thread: https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=4958372
But it sounds as though you don't need to be concerned about the return from Klein Matterhorn, which can sometimes be a bit tricky for nervous intermediates.
It's quite a long way to Sunnegga and back if you're starting in Cervinia!

To get to Sunnegga either involves a lot of lifts and skiing or getting across the village. Either way I think it’ll be tight and you’d be clock watching all day
You could ski across to Trockner Steg and Furgg and then ski or download to Furi and take the gondola up to Riffleberg and Gornegrat. Loads of intermediate runs and classic views of the Matterhorn.
Luckily the new Klein Matterhorn gondola seems to have zero queues this week.
Either way - enjoy!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We've done it both times we've been to Cervinia (1st time with a 6yr old at the end of 1st ski hol so not the fastest) and have done what Tommy suggests -Furi / Riffleberg and Gornegrat. I think we started making our way back up about 2/2.30pm from memory and it was fine. As others have said, just keep your eye on the signs.

Thanks for tips! We are here now and it’s awesome.
Not going to make it to sunegga. There is enough on the nearer side

My 9 year old even managed the black down to zermatt! She is a bit broken now though, heading back to Italy!
