 Poster: A snowHead
|
Is it possible to go from Zermatt to Cervinia with luggage i.e. not on skis but using cablecars only?
Have never been to either resort, so am concerned about viability of this trip and lift closures due to high winds etc.
(We need to get to Aosta valley from Zermatt, and only other option is a 4-hour train and bus trip via Visp and Martigny.)
All comments very welcome!

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

Comedy Goldsmith, ah, okay - I thought from the piste map it could all be done using cable cars but wasn't sure if I should trust the map!

The lift map shows a 'projekt' to link the top of the Zermatt lift system (Klein Matterhorn) with the top of the Cervinia lift system (Plateau Rosa). It involves the construction of a new cablecar from Plateau Rosa to Klein Matterhorn - a lift link which doesn't exist yet.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Comedy Goldsmith, thanks and very glad you clarified that for me! Will be great when they get that lift link up and running - but a little misleading to have it on the piste map, methinks!

Why not ski down with your luggage (Cervinia skiing is easy). I did that once in Austria (though not so far) with a suitcase in each hand. It was actually very easy, to my surprise - though it drew plenty of attention. Obviously you need to keep a still upper body. But make sure the cases are securely locked or strapped up: you don't want them spilling open on the snow.

Not a crazy idea but a fun one.
You wouldn't have to ski too far. All things being well*, I think you'd just have to ski from the top of the Klein Matterhorn lift down to Plateau Rosa.
* the biggest risk is that if the KM lift is shut - as it often is due to high wind - then you have T-bar hell to contend with. Little fun without luggage.
