Aosta, 16 October 2021 – After last year’s stop, the ski season 2021 2022. To inaugurate it Breuil-Cervinia station, which opened its doors at 8.15 this morning in full compliance with the anti-Covid lines. The Aosta Valley town at the foot of the ‘Gran Becca’ has started its own installations and, at 10.15, the ski passes issued were already 620: not only skiers but also some mountaineers willing to tackle the climb on the Breithorn.
An inauguration on which all the spotlights were focused: last year in Cervinia the start of the season – then immediately closed due to the resurgence of the pandemic – was marked by long queues of skiers at the ticket offices, with images quickly finished on social networks causing heated controversy. This year, however, there were no particular problems, according to what was reported by the Cervino SpA, the company that controls the district.
Skipass booked online and Green pass
Today, however, access was allowed only to skiers who had purchased exclusively online for ski passes, daily or multi-day. Everyone had to exhibit Green pass and valid document, except for children under 12, and wear surgical mask or ffp2 worn correctly, to cover the mouth and nose. Compliance with the anti-Covid regulations was guaranteed by the controls organized “in a punctual and massive manner” by the personnel of the plants with the support of the local police, carabinieri and financial police.
Where you can ski
In this first phase, the area offers the opportunity to ski on the Swiss side thanks to the link with Zermatt and on the Plateau Rosa, for a total of about 15 kilometers of slopes out of the 340 available. On the Italian side which also includes Valtournenche, Chamois and Torgnon artificial snowmaking operations are taking place, waiting for the ‘natural’ snow, and next week we will decide when to open. The winter season in Cervinia will last until May 1st 2022.
