I’m planning to check out Cervinia 24-28. Flying to Aosta if the weather is right.
You will feel right at home if you fly (or divert) to Turin
It would be interesting to get feedback on the costs.
I landed in Turin last summer and reported it on the database. Not cheap, close to 200 euros for a Piper Arrow staying for less than an hour. Guess the M600 in the picture got a different bill…
But it’s a good place for diverting and you have all facilities (cabs, car rental) to get to Cervinia.
I would contact https://www.esair.it/ even if it’s an alternate, as they will arrange PPR and anything else needed with the airport. I’m not sure you can just file LIMF as alternate and turn up (maybe yes but I don’t trust Italian burocracy ;)). The handler was quite quick in communication.
This week, I was skiing in several Italian ski areas. Here some tips / ideas for your next “fly to ski” trips:

Italian airports take their time to issue invoices, but here it is.
Turin LIMF, 4 nights, 6 tons, 2 crew+3 pax in, 1 crew+3 pax out.
Handling charged separately and it was a bit of a rip off, but I can only blame myself for not doing the arrangements in advance.
Cervinia was fantastic. I’ll be coming back.
@Frans thank you very much for the valuable advice on other resorts.
