Alpine skiing lesson - first timer

We meet in the morning in Cervinia. The technical materials​​,​​ like skis and boots​​,​​ are checked to ensure comfort and safety​​,​​ before taking lifts. We warm up muscles and refresh the technique with couple of runs before entering Swiss territory​​,​​ at 3300 meters at Theodulpass. The view over Plateau Rosa glacier is breathtaking. From the Small Matterhorn to the Zermatt valley​​,​​ a tongue of perennial snow​​,​​ from winter to summer. These areas are also famous for summer skiing with exceptional snow conditions. In a couple of turns we find ourselves at the start of the recently built cableway facility​​,​​ called "Matterhorn Glacier Paradise". These are imposing heated "bubbles"​​,​​ in continuous rotation towards the "Ice Paradise". The skiing continues​​,​​ on technical and enjoyable slopes​​,​​ up to the village. Zermatt is famous for its authenticity​​,​​ mountain tradition and tourism culture. It is not allowed to reach the village with combustion engines. Cars are left in a guarded parking lot: tourists and locals move around in horse-drawn carriages. Wonderful ! On the way back we will take one of the most beautiful and famous slopes in Italy with about 1​​,​​100 meters in altitude​​,​​ "Ventina" slope. The technique acquired during the day makes the descent to Cervinia simple and safe. The Matterhorn & Zermatt Ski Safari​​,​​ an unforgettable experience: you explore about 10​​,​​000 meters of mountains. With lifts​​,​​ you reach Plain Maison and then further up towards the "Ice Paradise" of Plateau Rosa; the view is breathtaking. A quick check of the equipment and then off to the ski highway towards the village of Zermatt. Snow at 4​​,​​000 is wonderful; in the evening return to Italy with the famous track of "Ventina" slope.
