Breuil-Cervinia is one of the most famous ski resorts in the Italian Alps, located in the Aosta Valley at around 2,050 metres above sea level, at the foot of the Matterhorn — the iconic peak that, at 4,478 metres, dominates the skyline in unmistakable fashion. The resort is connected via ski lifts to the Cervino Ski Paradise area, which extends to Zermatt in Switzerland and offers over 360 km of runs skiable even in summer thanks to the permanent glaciers.
Excelsior Planet stands in a central position, just 50 metres from the pedestrian village centre and 200 metres from the Breuil-Plan Maison cable car, the gateway to the vast ski area. Piazzale Planet, where the hotel is located, is one of the most conveniently situated hubs in the resort: the main shops, town centre restaurants and local services are all just steps away.
In winter, Cervinia attracts skiers from all over Europe, with slopes suited to every level and one of the longest seasons in the Alps. In summer, the area transforms into a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, with scenic trails leading to Lago Blu — one of the most photographed lakes in the Aosta Valley — and towards Plateau Rosà. The proximity to the Swiss border also allows day trips to Zermatt via the ski lifts.
