Night skiing is the practice of downhill skiing after daylight hours on designated pistes equipped with floodlights or artificial lighting. This activity allows skiers to access mountain trails after standard lift operations close, experiencing groomed slopes under evening skies. Across all listed destinations, night skiing takes place exclusively during the winter season.
Various destinations feature dedicated illuminated slopes. In Switzerland's Canton of the Grisons, Silvaplana offers night skiing on the Corvatsch sector along the 4.2 km Hahnensee Piste. In Italy, Sestriere provides evening descents on the floodlit Giovanni Alberto Agnelli slope, an iconic black run within its 400 km ski area. In Lombardy, Livigno operates night skiing on the Tagliede slope on select winter evenings, typically starting from 8:30 PM, while Prato Nevoso in the Ligurian Alps lights several key slopes across its 130 km network.
Austrian resorts often combine evening sessions with slope-side events. In Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, night skiing on illuminated pistes takes place weekly on Tuesdays during peak winter alongside a ski show. Sölden also hosts night skiing paired with a ski show featuring synchronized skiing and acrobatic displays, while Saalbach-Hinterglemm offers a floodlit piste directly in Hinterglemm accessed via the Unterschwarzachbahn lift.
