New Year’s Eve 2025/2026 in Cervinia: Events, Torchlight Descents & Snowshoeing

🎵 New Year’s Eve in the main square in Breuil-Cervinia

The most iconic party happens right in the heart of Cervinia. As you get closer to the square, the music gets louder, the lights take over the streets, and the vibe turns electric. The DJ set starts at 10:00 PM, but the village is already buzzing earlier, with people leaving restaurants and hotels to join the big collective celebration.

The countdown is pure goosebumps: hundreds of people facing the Matterhorn, welcoming the New Year together. Free entry, and the party usually continues until around 1:00 AM.
