Season starts in the ski resorts 2023/24

The first ski resorts start winter operations

by Klara Stang 10/06/2023
Even if there isn't much sign of winter at the moment, it is slowly approaching and the first motivated skiers are already out on the glaciers. It's time for us to wake up from our summer slumber. Every year, we kick things off with a list of the ski resorts opening in the Alps.

Switzerland:

In Switzerland, Engelberg once again kicks off on 21.10, followed by St. Moritz on 4.11, Davos and Andermatt on 18.11 and Samnaun on 23.11. Laax, Diavolezza and Grindelwald start on 25.11, after which the rest of the Swiss ski resorts will follow suit.

Other resorts:

  • Glacier3000 4.11

  • Grimentz/Zinal 25.11

  • Flumserberg 3.12.2022

Austria:

In Austria, the season has already started for some people in Hintertux, but the actual park opening highlight takes place this weekend, from 6.10 - 8.10. If you want to continue straight away, you can have fun in the park in Pitztal from 14.10 - 15.10. The Stubai Zoo Opening, which takes place on 3.11 - 5.11, is also sure to be of interest to many Innsbruck residents. A personal highlight is the Kaunertal Park Opening from 11.11 - 12.11. Incidentally, this will be the last time it takes place in this form this year, from next year there will be the opening event in spring, due to the snow conditions and because it is more ecological. Actually a good approach! If you're not so keen on the park, you can watch the Ski World Cup Opening in Sölden from 28.10 - 29.10. Depending on the snow conditions, you will probably be able to strap on your skis again from 17.11. The Kitzstenhorn opens in mid-October. In Ski Amadee, Flachau Winkel and St. Johann start on 25.11, with the remaining areas following suit in December.

Other areas:

  • Obergurgel-Hochgugel 16.11.

  • Obertauern 24.11

  • Axamer Lizum 25.11

  • Schladming 07.12

France:

Tignes opens as planned on 25.11 and Le deux Alps on 21.10. Les Trois Vallées will ring in the winter season on 26.11 and the freeride paradise Charmonix on 09.12.

Italy:

The cable cars Sulden am Ortler will start winter operations on 21.10. Ponte di Legno - Tonale and Val Senales (Schnalstal) will wait until the beginning of November. The Valle d'Aosta with Courmayeur, La Thuile and Pila will go into operation on 25.11.

Other areas:

  • Campiglio/Pinzolo/Val Rendena 25.11

  • Latemar 26.11

  • Monterosa Ski

  • 3 Peaks 1.12

  • Carezza Dolomites 2.12

BUT BE CAREFUL: Our glaciers are in motion in summer and form large crevasses. These are often invisible in early winter when the first snow falls, but they don't just disappear! So be careful where you go.
