Opening of ski facilities 2026-2027, the dates to mark on the calendar and what to know

From Valle d'Aosta to Trentino-Alto Adige: in some regions where there are places at high altitude the season has already started. This is the case, for example, of Breuil-Cervinia which opened its doors on October 24th with closure scheduled for Sunday May 2nd, when many other areas will close. From All Saints Sunday, November 1st, the Solda slope in Val Venosta will also be active.

The countdown has started in the Dolomites for the return to skiing on Saturday 14 November in the Tre Cime area. Passo Monte Croce starts but for most of Monte Elmo and Croda Rossa it will be necessary to wait until the end of the month, Saturday 28 November. In Madonna di Campiglio the date to be circled in red on the calendar is the Saturday before, November 21st, snow permitting. The start of continuous activity is expected on the 27th in Obereggen (Trentino) and Madesimo (Lombardy).

The ski season also begins on Thursday 3 December in Folgarida, Marilleva and Pinzolo (Trentino). On Friday 4 December the slopes open their doors in Bellamonte-Alpe Lusia, Trento - Monte Bondone, Pejo (Trentino), Bormio (Lombardy), Sestriere and Vialattea (Piedmont), Alta Badia, Val Gardena, Alpe di Siusi, Val di Fassa and Carezza (South Tyrol), Predazzo (Trentino), Arabba and Marmolada (Veneto). For the return to the great ski itineraries of the Dolomites, the Sellaronda is also scheduled to open on the same day.

As with the opening dates, prices also vary according to the area. Following investments of 100 million euros to upgrade ski lifts and planned snow, Dolomiti Superski has released the price list for the 2026/27 season. Rates that remain at levels substantially in line with the past year and increases of a few euros confined to the daily basis. To give an example, in high season admission for an adult reaches 89 euros, three more than in 2025/26. A seasonal ski pass is available in advance for 990 euros while the formula valid for 6 days costs, again for an adult, 453 euros. For holders of "My Dolomit Card", Superski Family is confirmed, a daily solution at 43 euros each valid on the entire circuit for the entire season.

For Andy Varallo, president of Dolomiti Superski, "the adjustment of tariffs takes into account the trend of inflation and the main cost factors that affect the activity of cableway companies, in particular energy, raw materials, services and infrastructure maintenance. In a highly energy-intensive sector, the volatility of energy prices unfortunately remains a very significant item".
