Croce Carrel

Start from Cervinia (Valtournenche)

Media Valle Moderate 2h44' 4.9 km +994 m

There’s a trail that doesn’t need miles to make a lasting impression. It starts in the heart of Breuil-Cervinia and climbs gently through pastures and stony slopes, until it reaches a place where your breath catches—not from exertion, but from awe. The Carrel Cross rises before your eyes like a silent beacon, a steel embrace reaching toward the sky, suspended among the clouds and the mountain silence.

Each step is an invitation to slow down, to listen to the wind whispering ancient tales among the rocks, to let yourself be carried by the vastness. The Matterhorn, proud and towering, reveals itself from a rare and powerful perspective—it feels closer, almost intimate. All around, the bowl of Cervinia opens into a panorama filled with freedom, with achievement, with fleeting moments that stay with you forever.
