    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.

    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.

    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%.

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    A hanging glacier above the Swiss village of Randa, just south of Zermatt, has been shedding large chunks of ice for weeks, with authorities warning more break-offs are likely. A danger zone has been closed off since June, though officials say the village's 479 residents aren't at risk. It's a familiar pattern for this glacier - it's done this before, in 1819, 1972 and 1973 - but a reminder of how closely Alpine authorities now watch terrain once considered stable.

    Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business

    Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business

    Thredbo is officially 'on the table.' EVT Limited, owner of Australia's most decorated ski resort, has hired Rothschild & Co to review its entire corporate structure - and confirmed Thredbo isn't off limits, even as it books a stronger year of earnings. The resort's own valuation has nearly halved after a brutal 2026 season, and speculation is already running toward Vail Resorts, Alterra, or a New Zealand operator picking it up. Here's what EVT actually said, and who could buy it.

    See what's happening on the mountain at Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) right now — snowfall, snow depth, and weather data to help you plan your day in Italy.

    Snow measurements

    Our snow reports measure snowfall in centimeters over multiple time windows — last 24 hours, last 7 days, and the season total. Base depth reflects accumulation at the 1227m base area, while summit depth captures conditions 993m higher at 2220m, where snow typically stays colder and lingers longer. Imperial conversions are shown alongside for convenience.

    Weather conditions

    Current weather conditions affect snow quality. Cold temperatures with low wind typically preserve snow quality, while warm temperatures or rain can impact conditions negatively — something worth watching closely at Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm)'s 1227m base elevation, where temperatures run milder than the summit.
