Opening Day 25/26 plus the first 2 Weeks Lift Opening Schedule Revealed

Posted Sat 04 Oct 2025

The special “preview” day on 5 December in Courchevel will have the Praz gondola (for access only), Verdons, Saulire and Marmottes open – as expected, although we thought they might try out the new Chenus gondola!

Lift opening schedules are always subject to change, snow conditions, weather, staffing, resources, maintenance etc.

Some lifts are dependent on hotel opening, tourist office events, Mairie approvals and Club des Sport usage. There are also plenty of caveats this year around Chenus, Plantrey and Epicea dependent on all work being completed on the new Chenus gondola and the boulevard towards Plantrey along with the necessary sign offs. In addition there will be some piste closure in place where snow cover is poor or necessary safety work has not yet been completed – always follow signage and obey instructions from Pisteurs.

Saturday 6 December to Friday 12 December

Most of the ski area scheduled to open from Saturday 6 December with just the Chanrossa sector being the main area closed. Some main chairs not open still but access to the area served is still possible (Chapelets, Bouc Blanc, Tovets, Marmottes and Foret for example).
