Breuil-Cervinia, Plateau Rosa · Summer 2026
4 May - 6 Sept 2026
Summer lift season.
Official sources disagree: The regional PDF planned summer skiing on the Plateau Rosa until 6 September, but on 23 August cervinia.it reported it suspended from 1 August; today it only shows "summer ski: closed". The dates apply to the lifts, not the slopes.

Matterhorn Alpine Crossing to Zermatt closed for maintenance until 23 October 2026 and from 7 January to 26 February 2027 (dedicated page on cervinia.it).
Official sources disagree: Closing: the same official page gives 2 May 2027 in the season box and 5 May 2027 in the banner. We show the more cautious date.
