How Bern compares
Bern has 9 ski areas with 752 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 3rd of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing. That is 11.8 per cent of all the piste kilometres in the country. The biggest single area is Adelboden-Lenk with 210 km.
The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,630 metres, 144 metres below the Swiss median of 1,774 metres. That figure weights the base station at 60 per cent and the top station at 40, because snow disappears at the bottom first. It is a choice rather than a measurement, and it knows nothing about aspect, snowmaking or where the storms actually go. Terrain here runs from 600 to 2,971 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 79 at the median, CHF 21 more than the Swiss median of CHF 58. The cheapest single area is Les Bugnenets-Savagnières at CHF 42.
The season runs 5 months at the median. 1 area sits on a glacier.
