How Nidwalden compares
Nidwalden has a single ski area, Klewenalp-Stockhütte, with 40 kilometres of piste. That is 0.6 per cent of the national total, and 14th of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing.
The area sits at a weighted altitude of 1,720 metres, 54 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 1,600 to 1,900 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 55, essentially the Swiss median of CHF 58. With a single area that median is not a market, it is that one price.
The season runs 4 months. There is no glacier terrain here, so the season depends on snowfall and snowmaking rather than on ice.
