Will there be any lifts open anywhere in May for riding in the Alps?

Saleve cable-car near Geneva. Chaumont in Neuchatel. Roche de Nayer near Montreux. another rack & pinion railway in Bienne. think Metabief in the Jura opens early (weekends only, though). les Diablerets will probably still be open. struggling to think of anywhere else...

Anything above about 2,000m will still have a lot of snow around, especially if north-facing.

what stevomcd said..

top of Rochers de Naye had snow on it in mid june last year.

Saleve is (er was before the recent rain) dry as a bone last week... busy as well.

You'll find any Ski resort apart from Chamonix / Interlaken area / Zermatt will be dead as can be though.

The cable car in Belenmadena, Southern Spain is open for bike uplifts all year round with warm sunny weather in May.
