When Brighton opens and closes: 2026/27 dates and hours

Brighton's 2026/27 season runs roughly from November 27, 2026 to April 19, 2027 — about 143 days of skiing. The November 27, 2026 opening is published by powder.com, but the resort has not settled it yet. The April 19, 2027 closing is our own calculation: it is usually announced only weeks ahead. The up-to-date version, with its source, is on the opening-dates page.

Brighton opening and closing dates

Expected opening: November 27, 2026. Expected closing: April 19, 2027. Opening depends on enough snow at the 2669 m base, so it can move a week or two either way; with a 3200 m top station, the upper mountain usually holds out longer than the base at the end of the season. Closing tends to be pushed to Easter when it falls late.

Brighton's lift operating hours

Like most alpine resorts, Brighton's lifts typically run roughly from 9:00 to 16:30–17:00, with the occasional night session on special dates. The exact daily schedule is published on the resort's official site.

When to book your gear

The two weeks around opening day, plus Christmas and Easter holidays, are when sizes and the better models sell out first in Brighton. Booking with the opening date already on the calendar — November 27, 2026 this season — is the simple way to avoid being left with what's spare.
