Heritage

Originally a remote mountain pasture, Breuil-Cervinia’s history is deeply connected to mountaineering and alpine exploration. Once known simply as Breuil, meaning "land of many waters" in the local Franco-Provençal dialect, it gained prominence in the 19th century when climbers set their sights on conquering the Matterhorn. The village evolved into a thriving ski resort in the 20th century, becoming one of Italy’s premier destinations for winter sports. Today, Breuil-Cervinia blends its rich alpine heritage with modern tourism, offering a perfect balance between adventure and tradition in the heart of the Alps.
