Portillo opening and closing dates

Expected opening: June 21, 2026. Expected closing: September 28, 2026. Opening depends on enough snow at the 2590 m base, so it can move a week or two either way; with a 3310 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.

Portillo's lift operating hours

Like most alpine resorts, Portillo'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 Portillo. Booking with the opening date already on the calendar — June 21, 2026 this season — is the simple way to avoid being left with what's spare.
