In summer the snowpark is in Zermatt, on the Swiss side of the Cervino mountain. But of course the park is reachable also from the italian side, Cervinia. For my experience (easy level) the park is full equipped and very nice, but i think it's better to go to the glacier of Les Deux Alpes in France, not only for the park that is amazing but also for the nightlife and for extra activities!

Problem is that 2 Alpes is already absolutely overrun by people, the liftlines are totally out of control.

I have never been to Zermatt, but i feel like reaching the Zermatt park from the Italian side might be quite a trek, although I could be wrong, anyone know?

No doubt it will be in the same place seeing as its the highest park in europe and having skied there, there is pretty much fuck all place to put another park as cervinia valley is weirdly placed.

Pay attention, in winter there are two parks. The Indian Park on the italian side in Cervinia and the Gravity Park in Zernmatt on the Swiss side. I repeat, in summer only the park in Zermatt is open with a similar setup of the winter park. Yes there is the pipe. From Cervinia you can reach Zermatt in 30-40 minutes.
