Italy’s Dolomiti Superski has invested approximately €100 million ($113 million) across its 12 ski areas ahead of the 2026-27 season, with several major new lifts, expanded terrain, improved snowmaking, and new connections planned for skiers this winter. The Italian Dolomites destination also announced its 2026-27 ski pass prices, with an adult day-pass during the peak season sitting at €89 ($100).

Dolomiti Superski says the investments are being made across lifts, slopes, snowmaking systems, energy infrastructure, and modernization projects. “The tariff adjustment takes into account the inflation development and central cost factors of cable car companies, in particular energy, raw materials, services and infrastructure maintenance,” Dolomiti Superski President Andy Varallo said in a press release. “Fluctuating energy prices unfortunately remain very relevant for the energy-intensive sector.”
New Lifts Across the Dolomites
Some of the biggest changes are coming to Kronplatz, where a new 10-passenger gondola, Kronplatz 1+2, will replace the existing system and include a middle station. Kronplatz 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 in Vierschach, the new 10-passenger Helmissimo gondola will enter service. At Buffaure in Val di Fassa, a new 10-passenger gondola will replace the existing chairlift serving Col Valvacin.

Obereggen will receive a new automatic eight-passenger chairlift, while new chairlifts are also planned at Alpe di Siusi, San Martino di Castrozza, and Gitschberg.
The Pecol-Pian del Crep gondola in Val di Zoldo will also be renewed, while several older lifts in Alta Badia and Val di Fiemme/Obereggen will be replaced with newer facilities.
New Slopes and Ski Connections
Kronplatz will add the new Lumen and Dolomiti pistes along with the Weiden ski trail, while several existing routes will also be modified.
Alta Badia will add piste 5c in the Arlara area, and San Martino di Castrozza will open the new Larici piste on Alpe Tognola.
San Martino will also debut the new Dolomia Funslope and a completely renovated snowpark.
One of the more significant longer-term projects is the planned connection between San Martino di Castrozza and Passo Rolle. Construction on the cable-car connection has officially begun, marking the start of the multi-year project.
More Snowmaking and Water Storage
Snowmaking infrastructure is another major focus of the €100 million investment.
New water-storage basins are planned in Selva di Val Gardena, Innichen, and Pampeago, while 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.
Dolomiti Superski is also adding photovoltaic systems at several lift stations in Alta Badia and expanding an existing installation at Kronplatz.
Additional modernization work is planned in Val di Fassa/Carezza, Arabba/Marmolada, Alpe Cermis, and Predazzo.
At Passo San Pellegrino, the finish area of the LaVolatA piste will be expanded ahead of Alpine Ski World Cup races for women. A new bar and restaurant is also being constructed at the valley station of the Col Margherita gondola.
