Lift Openings: Europe 2026/27
Getting ready for the 2026/27 season: European lift dates in opening order, plus resort mugs, snoods and a navy long sleeve from the Powderhound shop.
Season 2026/27 is lining up across Europe. Below are the planned opening and closing dates for the main mountains, in the order they open.
Start with the high glaciers or if you would rather wait for a full village and a linked area, most of France, the Arlberg and the Dolomites open in the first fortnight of December.
In opening order
21–28 November
28 November – 5 December
5 December onwards
From the Powderhound shop
While the dates settle, a few things worth having ready: the resort on a mug, a snood for the queue, and a navy long sleeve for the lift and afterwards.
