TL;DR
Dolomiti Superski is spending around €100 million across its 12 areas before winter. Kronplatz gets a new 10-passenger gondola with a middle station, 3 Zinnen gets Helmissimo, and Val di Fassa swaps a chairlift for a gondola above Col Valvacin. New water-storage basins and upgraded snowmaking follow, and construction has started on the San Martino to Passo Rolle link. A peak adult day pass is €89.
Dolomiti Superski has about €100 million of new lifts, pistes and snowmaking lined up for this winter.
The spending is spread across all 12 ski areas in the Italian Dolomites network, and covers lifts, pistes, snowmaking, energy infrastructure and modernisation work. The operator has also published its 2026-27 prices, with a peak-season adult day pass at €89.
New Lifts Across the Dolomites
Kronplatz gets the biggest changes. A new 10-passenger gondola, Kronplatz 1+2, replaces the existing system and adds a middle station. The area will also receive a new automatic eight-passenger Dolomiti chairlift in Olang and a new eight-passenger Ruis gondola in San Vigilio di Marebbe.
At 3 Zinnen Dolomites, the new 10-passenger Helmissimo gondola enters service at Vierschach. In Val di Fassa, a new 10-passenger gondola at Buffaure replaces the chairlift serving Col Valvacin.
Obereggen is getting a new automatic eight-passenger chairlift, and new chairlifts are planned at Alpe di Siusi, San Martino di Castrozza and Gitschberg. The Pecol-Pian del Crep gondola in Val di Zoldo will be renewed, and several older lifts in Alta Badia and Val di Fiemme/Obereggen are being replaced with newer ones.
New Pistes and Connections
Kronplatz adds the new Lumen and Dolomiti pistes and the Weiden ski trail, and several existing routes will be modified. Alta Badia gains piste 5c in the Arlara area. San Martino di Castrozza opens the new Larici pistes on Alpe Tognola, along with a Dolomia Funslope and a fully renovated snowpark.
The longest-term project is the planned link between San Martino di Castrozza and Passo Rolle. Construction of the cable-car connection has begun, and it is a multi-year build.
At Passo San Pellegrino, the finish area of the LaVolatA piste will be expanded ahead of women's Alpine Ski World Cup races. A new bar and restaurant is also under construction at the valley station of the Col Margherita gondola.
Snowmaking, Water and Energy
Snowmaking takes a large share of the €100 million. New water-storage basins are planned in Selva di Val Gardena, Innichen and Pampeago. Snowmaking systems will be upgraded at several other locations, including Cortina d'Ampezzo, Alta Badia, Buffaure, Bellamonte, Passo Oclini, San Pellegrino, Alpe Lusia and Civetta.
On the energy side, photovoltaic systems are being added at several lift stations in Alta Badia, and the existing installation at Kronplatz is being expanded. Further modernisation work is planned in Val di Fassa/Carezza, Arabba/Marmolada, Alpe Cermis and Predazzo.
2026-27 Prices
Dolomiti Superski's headline prices for the season are:
- Adult day pass, peak season: €89
- Adult six-day pass, peak season: €453 (€75.50 per day)
- Advance-purchase season pass: €990
- Dolomiti Superski Family: €43 per day
Daily and multi-day passes bought online at least two days before the first day of validity get a 5 per cent discount. New this season, the Dolomiti Superski Family Card can also be bought online.
The operator says the price adjustment reflects inflation and higher costs for the lift companies, particularly energy, raw materials, services and infrastructure maintenance. Fluctuating energy prices remain a major factor for such an energy-intensive business.
