How Fribourg compares
Fribourg has 4 ski areas with 118 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 8th of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing. That is 1.8 per cent of all the piste kilometres in the country. The biggest single area is Charmey with 30 km.
The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,397 metres, 378 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 1,000 to 2,002 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 44 at the median, CHF 14 less than the Swiss median of CHF 58. The cheapest single area is Jaun at CHF 42.
The season runs 4 months at the median. There is no glacier terrain here, so the season depends on snowfall and snowmaking rather than on ice.
