Cortina ended its 2025-2026 winter season on 30 March 2026.
Cortina is a lower resort in the Hakuba valley, so it closes earlier than the high resorts nearby. Its natural snow and tree-lined runs are best from January to early March. For deep powder, plan a mid-winter trip rather than a spring one.
