    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    Spanning 56 square kilometres at elevations between 1,680 and 2,350 metres, Alpe di Siusi claims the distinction as Europe's largest high-altitude alpine meadow, offering 63 kilometres of immaculately groomed runs across a stunning plateau in the South Tyrolean Dolomites. The ski area's extraordinary natural beauty within the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites landscape features iconic peaks including Sassolungo, Sassopiatto, and the distinctive Sciliar massif creating dramatic backdrops for every descent.

    Wide, gently rolling slopes with predominantly intermediate terrain make this an exceptional destination for families and developing skiers, whilst connections via the Alpina Express gondola link seamlessly to Val Gardena's extensive network, creating a combined 181 kilometres of skiing. The plateau benefits from comprehensive snowmaking covering 98% of marked runs, complementing the area's 300 days of annual sunshine that define this unique South Tyrolean skiing destination.

    The 2025/26 season operates from 6 December 2025 through 6 April 2026, with peak snow conditions typically occurring from January through early March across the predominantly south-facing plateau. Comprehensive snowmaking covering 98% of marked terrain ensures consistent conditions throughout winter despite the sunny aspect that characterises this high-altitude meadow.

Spring delivers exceptional skiing from mid-March through early April with firm morning snow softening perfectly by mid-morning, complemented by increasing sunshine hours and spectacular Dolomite panoramas. The season concludes with traditional South Tyrolean cultural celebrations showcasing the region's distinctive blend of Italian and Austrian heritage.

    Getting there

    Getting to Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm), and where to stay

    Situated 20 kilometres northeast of Bolzano in South Tyrol, Alpe di Siusi maintains extraordinary tranquillity through strict traffic limitations restricting private vehicles between 9am and 5pm, creating an almost entirely car-free alpine environment. The plateau sits dramatically surrounded by UNESCO World Heritage Dolomite peaks within the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park, accessible via cable car connections from Ortisei in Val Gardena and Siusi allo Sciliar.

    Villages including Castelrotto, Siusi allo Sciliar, and Fiè allo Sciliar provide authentic South Tyrolean accommodation with distinctive architecture reflecting the region's trilingual culture where Italian, German, and Ladin coexist. Bolzano Airport lies 35 kilometres distant, whilst Innsbruck, Venice, and Verona airports all sit within three hours' drive, ensuring straightforward international access to this peaceful alpine sanctuary.

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
