The Alps at Cervinia

The Alps at Cervinia
It’s the skiing season and even if the snows are late this year in the Alps I thought it would be nice for me at least to recap a skiing holiday I had once in the Italian ski resort of Cervinia. I was being towed up the mountain here in my skis with sticks in one hand and my camera in the other, all in readiness for a long run back down to the village. The high pointed mountain here, I think is one of the sides of the Matterhorn taken from above the ski resort. See PiP for the more famous view of the Matterhorn from the Swiss village of Zermatt where you can ski to from here.

A scanned photo, taken in January 1988. Nb. there is plenty of snow today in the higher resorts of the Alps.

Enjoy the day

Impressive one-handed photography Herb............that's certainly an amazing view from up there. The mountains are really beautiful and I love the deep blue of the sky.

Great to see the Matterhorn shot again too!

Aye not too bad considering. This was done with my Canon A1. That camera like my Olympus some time afterwards fitted nicely into one hand Great that you remembered the Matterhorn shot from previous Keith. Thanks a lot.

With all the time I have been near there I never visited Zermatt. So strange. I hope next I will.
