I would guess 7 day opening from Saturday 3rd Dec. Look towards the bottom of this post to see what was open that weekend last year. Mont Fort was a week later. But all snow conditions dependent.

Anyone on the ground know when Tracouet is opening (Nendaz)?
Their redesigned website is atrocious, and looks to be being deliberately cagey as to anything about the winter at present!

I think they were quite late last season, around mid-December. It will be snow dependent so you won’t get a reliable answer until a couple of days before they decide to open. Usually opens from Siviez earlier at weekends

Yes, Thanks. We've skied the week before Christmas for the last 12 years from our apartment by the gondola.
Last couple of years, they've taken to not opening Tracouet till the end of that week, irrespective of snow cover, which is, frankly, a pain!
Planning on going out on 16th this year, so rather hoping it will be open 18th on, but would be nice to get some concrete info.

I guess if Verbier isn't open on Friday 2nd, Saas Fee might be open. Just hope for lots of snow !!

With another 25cm forecast for Weds/Thurs looking good for opening this weekend

Thanks @BobinCH. Heading out to Veysonnaz* on 18 Dec for a year-long delayed 5 days of freeride with my 15yo (having cancelled literally 8 trips since we got back from the 3Vs at HT 2020). Keep the updates coming please!
* For those following me on other threads, the Swiss approach for <16s means I'm not likely to try to Irish second jab gambit unless it looks like HT 2022 looks sketchy.

You know it makes sense.

@BobinCH, Is it just going to be the Lake area or will it be the Ruinettes too ?
Incidentally it has been snowing here at 1250m on and off, but not settling today.

I would guess down to Ruinettes as the temps are low and the piste has been smoothed out (after the new snow machine water lines went in) so less cover required.

Pleased to say Nendaz have published opening 18/12 for Tracouet as I hoped!
Assume the Veysonnaz link the same, but still showing as "depending on snow conditions"

^^^Great pic! The lack of snow, and the creeping clouds, adds to the drama. What was it taken with?

@BobinCH, Was that video on Sunday on Les Ruinettes?
On Saturday only the Lac bit was open, and it was a bit cloudy / foggy.

I'm trying to work out if it's worth a trip up from Geneva this weekend. It doesn't look like any new snow between now and then, but I'm not sure if there's been any already this week. Is it likely just to be the Lac des Vaux piste open again or is there a chance for something else?

Any soothsayers think they can predict how this season is going to go with restrictions? Thinking of a few days second week in Jan. I know there's a vote on coronapasses etc, my main worry is the low vaccination rate in Switzerland might lead to lockdowns.
I assume because they didn't close last season they surely will not close this season?
Also, and I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but are EU corona functional there and scannable to get into restaurants etc?

The answer to the second q, at least per Swiss travel website, is yes
Asking johnmo on the Zermatt thread his opinion re the first question also

Anyone in Nendaz at the moment? If so what are the roads like? Am due to arrive on Saturday 18th and wondering if approach roads to the resort are clear. (trying to decide whether to rent a car and drive, or catch train / bus combo from Geneva)

@james75, roads will be clear. Sun, sun and more sun in the forecast.
