Evening all, looking for somewhere in Europe to have access to lift assisted riding, walking and maybe a bit of Via Ferratta holiday.

Lots of places look like lifts close in mid Sept, just wondering if there's anyone has experience or knowledge of somewhere that stays open a bit later.

Thanks.

Uplift rather than lift assisted but Rivierabike in Molini would tick all the other boxes

Finale, Sierra Nevada, Tenerife or Madeira. All of them are worthwhile at that time of year.

No lifts available at that time of year that I know of. You're in uplift land whether you like it or not.

Chamonix and Verbier will both still have lifts running late September, have lots of walking, and have some via feratta. And a few other bits of tourist interest too....
In that neck of the woods you also have year round uplift with Saleve, Bex, Dorenaz and a few others.
Here's a list of opening and closing dates for around the Haute Savoie/Valais:

But, I'd be looking at Finale/Molini/Sospel too at that time of year.

EWS will be in Finale at the end of September. You might have to book accommodation and uplifts now.

Andora. Vallnord and Soldeu bike parks there. Pretty sure I went there at the end of Sept if that's any good

Ever been to Tuscany? Uplifts, guiding and plenty of Chianti+steak with Ridgeline MTB, perfect 🙂

Ehrwald, Austria is another possibility. Lots of chair lifts, natural riding and klettersteig nearby

Ehrwald has got a quote a few problems regarding trail access, just like the rest of Tyrol. Some nice take the, but be prepared for conflict, ime.

Plenty of operators in Spain run all year round,

Sierra MTB,

Ride Sierra Navada,

Switchbacks,

Bike Holiday Spain,

Only warning, September might be too hot, I was there in February and it was just right temperature wise, so I'm assuming all these operators must run rides higher up in the mountains during the hottest months
