The Paganella Fun Park, a compact winter recreation area in the centre of Fai della Paganella, has announced an early suspension of operations for the winter season 2026–2026. The management explained the decision as a precaution in response to adverse weekend weather forecasts: prioritizing the safety of visitors and staff,
the park will remain closed for the remainder of the season while teams prepare for the next opening. Guests who visited this season are thanked for their patronage, and families planning future trips are encouraged to review the practical details below before returning.
For ongoing updates the park points visitors to the official Instagram handle @visitfaidellapaganella and to the Consorzio Fai Vacanze for direct
enquiries. While this announcement signals a temporary pause rather than a permanent shutdown, reopening activities are expected to resume in December 2026 when pistes and attractions come back online. In the meantime, this article gathers the key information you need: the main attractions, children’s facilities, operating hours, ticketing, safety rules and contact details.
Why the early closure matters
The management cited meteorological forecasts that could
compromise both safety and the quality of the visitor experience. Choosing to close early reflects a focus on risk mitigation and maintenance: staff will use the downtime to service equipment and check snow conditions so that when the park reopens the environment is secure and well prepared. The decision underscores the park’s commitment to providing a trusted family destination and shows how weather risk management and operational readiness shape seasonal leisure services in mountain resorts.
What the park offers when open
The Paganella Fun Park spreads over roughly two hectares in a sunny setting of Fai della Paganella and is designed as an accessible winter alternative for non-skiers and families. Key attractions include a long mechanical tapis roulant for uphill transport, a dedicated snowtubing lane for inflatable-tube descents and a separate run for sleds and bob. These features make the park a compact, action-packed complement to the nearby ski areas, ideal for short family sessions and mixed-ability groups.
Kids area and family amenities
Children find a generous play zone equipped with soft figures, rubber toys for snowy play and two inflatables. Highlights are a giant slide, a bouncing castle and a brand-new 17-metre maxi obstacle course that adds variety to the entertainment program. The park provides communal items such as bobs and tubes on rotation, deckchairs for resting and supervised points for parents. A small refreshment point serves snacks and hot drinks so families can plan full afternoons without leaving the area.
Practical logistics: hours, tickets and safety
Under normal operation the park runs continuously from 10:00 to 16:30. Standard entry that covers bob runs, snowtubing and inflatables is priced at €15 (full) and €12.50 (reduced). Children under 110 cm must be accompanied by at least one paying parent and are admitted free for safety reasons. Visitors may bring personal sleds, or use the park’s equipment. For safety, helmets are available to rent for €5 subject to availability, and deposits are required: a €5 refundable deposit for the mandatory access wristband and a €20 deposit if a helmet is rented.
Extra services, discounts and location
Additional paid attractions include small electric mini quads for young riders (roughly from ages 4–5); a single session of nine laps costs €7.50 full and €6 reduced. Discounted rates are available upon presentation of cards such as the Paganella Guest Card, Euregio Card or resident and second-home documentation (including the ASIA waste card). The park sits on Via Dolomiti di Brenta, about 200 metres from Fai della Paganella’s centre, with a nearby point of sale for food and drink.

Meanwhile, those planning trips in spring should note the national Giornate FAI di Primavera taking place on 21 and 22 March 2026. This large-scale initiative opens roughly 780 sites across some 400 cities, from villas and gardens to industrial sites and institutional buildings, many normally closed to the public. The event relies on thousands of volunteers and student guides known as Apprendisti Ciceroni, and includes thematic routes such as the 800th-anniversary itinerary for Francesco d’Assisi. Practical details and the full list of openings are on giornatefai.it, visits are by free contribution and membership offers priority access and exclusive tours.
