Whilst it looks like the ski lifts and slopes will be open for professional ski racers and snowboard competitions, it is feared that a longer-term closure for recreational skiers and boarders might be on the cards – current speculation is that this could run to the end of November, meaning that the official resort winter opening date of 28th November 2020 will go ahead as planned as long as specific guidelines are adopted and validated by the Technical-Scientific Committee. Good news for the ski season!
Saturday 24th October was the most beautiful day in The Alps and photos show that The Matterhorn was looking absolutely resplendent. Can you blame those 2000+ skiers for descending on this wonderful village to partake in the sport we all love so much after the abrupt closure of all resorts in March this year? Photos certainly seem to suggest that the slopes themselves were fantastic, well managed and skiing beautifully. Had we been there, I have no doubt that we would have done the same!
