Spring Skiing in Cervinia: What to Expect This May
It’s May — flowers are blooming, bikes are back on the road, and beach towels are making their first appearances… but up here in Cervinia, winter isn’t quite ready to say goodbye. If you’re like me and not quite done with ski season yet, you’re in luck: spring skiing in Cervinia kicks off again from May 5th, 2025, with a reduced but still very skiable area open for all the snow lovers out there.
So, what can you expect if you’re planning a late-season trip?
🎿 What Slopes and Lifts Will Be Open?
Even though it’s technically the start of the off-season, there’s still plenty of snow up high, and that means a good number of runs are staying open:
- Pista 6 and 46 will be groomed and open, with return skiing available all the way down to Plan Maison, the spring skiing hub.
- The Bontadini chairlift will operate daily from 9:00 to 14:45.
- The Breuil-Cervinia – Plateau Rosà cable cars are also running, giving access to the spectacular slope 7, which reaches up to Cime Bianche Laghi. This area will be skiable until 15:00.
📅 On selected dates — May 9–11 and May 16–18 — the Baby La Vieille skilift will be open too, along with slope 8 bis, from 8:30 to 16:30. A great bonus for those looking for a few extra runs on the weekend!
❄️ What About the Swiss Side?
Conditions permitting, the Swiss glacier section (Trockener Steg and the Furggsattel chairlift) will also be open. This area usually maintains excellent snow quality in May and offers that unique experience of summer skiing with stunning Alpine views.

🌞 My Take on Spring Skiing
Spring skiing in Cervinia has a vibe of its own. The snow might be a bit softer, but the sun is stronger, the lines are shorter, and there’s something magical about carving down slopes in just a light jacket — or even in a t-shirt some days!
Personally, I always love this time of year. It’s more relaxed, more social, and it feels like a reward for those of us who just can’t get enough of the mountains. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or just want to extend your season one more time, Cervinia in May delivers.
