When does the ski season start?

The ski season in South Tyrol starts as early as November in some ski resorts and usually lasts until April, although this can vary depending on the weather conditions. Ski areas with particularly reliable snow conditions, such as the Schnalstal Valley and Sulden am Ortler (Vinschgau), often offer an extended season. Ski holidays there are possible as early as autumn and well into spring. . Most ski resorts rely on modern snowmaking systems to ensure a continuous season, even when nature doesn't play ball.
