The wait is over. After an extensive restoration of the historic Grand Hotel Cristallo in Cervinia, the new 5-Star Valtur Cervinia Cristallo Ski Resort opened its doors on December 1st. The impressive redevelopment promises to preserve the allure of the past, while projecting the resort into a new aesthetic and experiential dimension.

Located in Cielo Alto at about 6.500 feet above sea level, the resort’s main building is flanked by two dépendances, called Cristallino 1 and 2, which are internally connected and rated 4 stars.
