How Neuchâtel compares
Neuchâtel has 2 ski areas with 60 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 13th of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing. That is 0.9 per cent of all the piste kilometres in the country. The biggest single area is La Robella – Val-de-Travers with 30 km.
The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,219 metres, 555 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 1,050 to 1,460 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 41 at the median, CHF 17 less than the Swiss median of CHF 58. No canton is cheaper. With only two areas that median is not a market, it is the midpoint between two prices.
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.
