The lift towards the Trentino side is being upgraded alongside the Eben drag lift. Brunoland moves to the base, while Latemar Fun Lines add new features on the pistes.
At Obereggen, the upgrades for winter 2026/27 focus on two different parts of the day: moving towards the other pistes in Latemar and children’s first slides on snow. The Obereggen chairlift is being upgraded from four to eight seats, while at the base the Eben drag lift and Brunoland are reshaping the area dedicated to families.
The resort’s announced schedule targets 27 November for the start of the season. This is a planned date: the opening of individual pistes and new services will depend on the completion of the work and conditions on the mountain.
The chairlift on the route towards Pampeago and Predazzo
The new eight-seater covers around 500 metres and climbs 93 vertical metres. Its stated capacity is 2,800 people per hour, with a journey time of less than two minutes. It is therefore not a long ascent from the valley floor, but a lift that plays a role in moving around the ski area.
For those combining Obereggen with the pistes of Pampeago and Predazzo, that role matters most. The number of seats describes the lift’s capacity; it does not, by itself, mean that every day will be free of queues. Route choices still depend on which connections are open and where you need to return.
Eben and Brunoland: changes at the base
The Eben drag lift is 479 metres long and climbs 105 vertical metres. Brunoland is being relocated beside the new line, with a redesigned selection of games and installations for younger children. Features presented by the operator include a children’s slalom, a photo spot with Bruno and sound-based games.
The park should not be confused with a ski run where non-skiers can simply be left to play freely. It is an area with its own organisation, to be chosen according to age and the activities offered. For a family dividing the morning between lessons and play, the entrance location and the meeting point with the instructor matter more than a generic description such as “near the pistes”.
Fun Lines offer a different way down
The pistes are also gaining the Latemar Fun Lines: routes with turns, rollers and features to tackle on skis. The operator distinguishes several lines; Forest Rush is on the Toler, with Reiterjoch and Obereggen as its reference lifts.
These are options to include in a day’s skiing according to the group’s abilities, not an invitation to use any feature on the first day on snow. Before entering, it is worth reading the signs and looking over the route.
Finally, Obereggen’s programme should be distinguished from work already completed elsewhere in Latemar: the Pampeago gondola mentioned in the Val di Fiemme dossier belongs to the previous winter. For 2026/27, the change here is the new eight-seater, together with the Eben–Brunoland area and the playful routes.
