Breuil-Cervinia is set for a dramatic lift transformation as Cervino S.p.A. launches its €200 million "Cervino – The One" initiative, aimed at building the long-discussed upgrade of access to the Plateau Rosà and the cross-border connection with Zermatt.
The ambitious will see two cutting-edge Leitner 3S gondolas, slashing journey times from nearly an hour to just 15–20 minutes.
The new system will triple uphill capacity to 3,000 passengers per hour, with the gondolas featuring Symphony 3D cabins offering panoramic views, heated seating, and high-altitude comfort.
Stretching nearly six kilometres and climbing over 1,400 vertical metres, the dual-line installation also promises wind resilience up to 100 km/h and year-round operation—ending the resort's annual closure of its access to the year-round glacier ski area above Zermatt.
The project also reimagines Plan Maison and Bardoney lift stations with modern amenities.
Backed by €70 million from the Aosta Valley region, the remainder will be funded through Cervino's own capital and bank financing. Construction is slated to begin next spring, with completion expected by 2030.
