As momentum builds in Italy before the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, Trentino has secured its crown with massive early-season snowfall, with high elevations seeing up to 70cm of fresh snow. 

Beyond the high-performance slopes, Trentino’s Passo Tonale was recently named the best value family ski resort in Europe, highlighting that the region’s Olympic-level conditions remain accessible for all.

Heavy snowfall across the Italian Alps has firmly announced winter’s return - and Trentino is leading the charge, with up to 70cm of fresh snow already blanketing its higher elevations.

With more snow forecast in the coming days, the region is enjoying a prime early-season start, just as Italy builds momentum toward the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

Snowfall Highlights:

• Above 2,500m: 60-70cm, including 66cm at Passo Grostè (2,530m) and 70cm at Pampeago (2,200m)

Iconic Sellaronda Ski Tour Fully Open

One of the season’s highlights - the iconic Sellaronda Ski Tour - is also open in both directions, allowing skiers to complete the legendary circuit of the four Dolomite passes without removing their skis, right through to sunset over the peaks.

One Province, Two World-Class Ski Domains

Trentino is uniquely home to two of the Alps’ most comprehensive ski systems: Dolomiti Superski and Skirama Dolomiti - Adamello Brenta.

• Dolomiti Superski is the world’s largest ski carousel, connecting 12 ski areas across northern Italy via a single pass - including 350km of pistes within Trentino alone.
  

• Skirama Dolomiti - Adamello Brenta links western Trentino’s resorts into a single network, with slopes reaching up to 3,000 metres at Peio and Passo Tonale - offering snow-sure conditions from early winter through late spring.

Passo Tonale Best in Europe for Family Skiers

∫The accessible alpine resort was named for its outstanding value, snow reliability and ease of access, reinforcing Trentino’s status as a destination that delivers premium alpine conditions alongside appeal for all generations, as the countdown continues to the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
