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.
🔥 End-of-year torchlight descents: fire on snow, pure magic
Few sights are as atmospheric as a torchlight descent coming down the slopes. The torches create a glowing, moving ribbon sliding towards the valley, while the village watches in silence then breaks into photos and applause.
29 December – Valtournenche
A deeply rooted tradition: ski instructors and mountain guides descend with torches, with music and celebrations in town.
30 December – Breuil-Cervinia
A spectacular torchlight descent, visible from much of the centre. The lights move like a warm wave above the village cinematic, unforgettable.
Two perfect appointments to get into the New Year mood.
