This year Courmayeur has achieved a record that skiers would gladly do without, namely that of the heaviest price increase on the daily ticket. An adult will pay 75 euros, 8.7% more than last winter, according to the Assoutenti report on the rates for the 2026/2027 season. The consumer association compared the price lists of the most well-known locations from 2021 to today, and the sign is the same everywhere. The highest price remains that of the Dolomiti Superski, 89 euros per day in high season compared to 86 last year. Civetta needs 72. After Courmayeur, the largest increases concern La Thuile (+5.2%), Bormio (+5%) and Vialattea (+4.5%).
The account of the last five years
It is the comparison with 2021 that gives the idea. In Livigno the daily ticket cost 52 euros, today in high season they ask for 74.50, 43.3% more. Bormio scores +37%, Vialattea +36.6%, Courmayeur +33.9%, Dolomiti Superski +32.8%.
Seasonal tickets up to 1,876 euros
On season tickets, the annual increase varies between 1.6% in Livigno, where 980 euros are spent, and 5% in Valle d’Aosta, which reaches 1,590 euros and reaches 1,876 with the extension to Zermatt. On the Milky Way you need 1,300. The Dolomiti Superski stops at 990 euros, provided you buy it in advance by December 24th, then it goes to 1,060. Compared to 2021, the Aosta Valley seasonal one grew by 34.7%, that of Livigno by 24.5%, that of Civetta by almost 20%.
Two million fewer Italians on the snow
Avif’s Aosta Valley installers have attributed the increases to the higher costs of energy and fuel, and ensure that the adjustments to customers are not proportional to the expenses incurred. Assoutenti looks at the overall bill, because increases in accommodation, refuges, restaurants, ski lessons and equipment are added to the ski passes. President Gabriele Melluso speaks of “a boomerang for operators in the sector”: between January and March 2026, the association calculates, two million Italians would have given up snow compared to the same period in 2019, with 1.5 billion euros in lost turnover. Judging by this year’s price lists, you wouldn’t think anyone had noticed.
