The 2026 summer opening windows are already public, and that matters if you want to plan a mountain weekend without guessing. Cervinia lists its summer season from 4 May to 6 September 2026; Madonna di Campiglio from 18 June to 20 September; Pinzolo from 20 June to 13 September.
That means you can decide in advance whether you want the longer high-altitude season of Cervinia or the central summer window of Campiglio and Pinzolo, which is better suited to hikes, bike rides and scenic lift access.
Cervinia: the longest window
Cervinia is the strongest option if you want to go high early in the season. The official lift page shows a 2026 summer season from 4 May to 6 September, giving you a wide window for panoramic rides, glacier views and long days at altitude.
The one thing to watch is weather. Wind and changing conditions can affect individual lifts, so a live check is always worth doing before you leave, especially if you plan a short visit or a same-day return.
Campiglio and Pinzolo: the core of summer
Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo open a little later, but their summer calendar is very practical for a full weekend outdoors. Campiglio runs from 18 June to 20 September, while Pinzolo runs from 20 June to 13 September.
In practice, that gives you three useful travel windows:
- June: quieter slopes, fresher temperatures and easier planning;
- July and August: full service and the broadest lift availability;
- September: often still excellent, but with more selective operations.
If you want the earliest possible season, Cervinia is the pick. If you want a classic summer mountain break, Campiglio and Pinzolo are a very good match.
What to check before you go
Official dates are only the starting point. Before booking or driving up, check:
- which lifts are actually running;
- mountain weather and wind forecasts;
- live webcams and operational notices;
- last uphill and downhill timings;
- parking, shuttles and access conditions.
That matters even more for a single-weekend trip, where one closed lift can change the whole plan.

To compare the resorts properly, start with resorts, then check webcams and lift-related guides. That way you can decide whether Cervinia’s longer season or Campiglio’s central summer window is the better fit.
