Due to the masses of snow, the first ski resorts have already opened, such as the Arthurhaus lift in MĂĽhlbach (Hochkeil ski area). The first ski tour of the season has already gone up the Nordkette (picture). For an overview of the start of the season in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy, here is a list of the known resorts - without guarantee!

The weather is going crazy and leeward cyclone Anett has caused chaos in many regions with large amounts of precipitation (a more detailed analysis in weather blog #1 2024/25). It brought an early onset of winter to the Alps at higher altitudes and even below 1500 metres. Even if the beloved snow is just melting again, the start of winter cannot be stopped. Here is an overview of the ski resorts that are the first to open.

Season starts in the ski resorts 2023/24
Klara Stang • 10/06/2023Even 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. -
Season starts in the ski resorts 2022/23
PowderGuide • 10/02/2022
As every year, we present a list that is probably incomplete and for which we cannot provide any guarantee! Many ski resorts seem to be starting a little later this year. On the other hand, some glaciers have been open since October 1st despite the unfavorable starting conditions and thanks to fresh snow. -
Season starts in the ski resorts 2021/22
PowderGuide • 09/30/2021It felt more wintry in August, but nonetheless: the season is in the starting blocks (and PowderGuide is also slowly waking up from its deep slumber). Have you been to one of the glaciers for an opening party or to see if the edges are still holding?
