Chamonix Lift System Opening/Closing Dates

Opening & Closing Dates for Chamonix Lifts 
In winter, the ski areas tend to open partially from November and then fully from just before Christmas. Closing dates vary throughout the ski areas and are of course weather dependant, but you can usually guarantee that they will be open until the end of April, with the Grands Montets staying open until the beginning of May. The Aiguille du Midi cable car and the Montenvers train both remain open throughout the year.

After a short inter-season closure for maintenance and holidays, the lifts start to re-open for the summer around the end of May /beginning of June. The lifts start to close from the beginning of September.

Check out the attached table for this years opening and closing dates.
