Italian ski resort preparations for 2026/2027 season

Italian ski resorts are undergoing infrastructure updates and seasonal planning in anticipation of the 2026/2027 winter season. This period marks the first full winter following the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, which has driven the renewal of various skiing, snowboarding, and freestyle facilities.

In Livigno, the season is scheduled to begin on November 28, 2026. The Mottolino resort has announced major renovation projects, including the expansion of the Yepi area to support families and children, alongside the development of the new Camanel facility. Designed by Vincenzo Fontana of LSP studio, the Camanel project aims to integrate contemporary design with local materials like stone and wood to serve as a multi-functional space for skiing, dining, and entertainment.

Other regions, such as the Monterosa Ski area, are transitioning from summer operations to winter preparations. Efforts in these areas include lift revisions, the enhancement of snowmaking systems in Brusson and Gressoney-Saint-Jean, and a focus on sustainability and international marketing.
