How Obwalden compares
Obwalden has 2 ski areas with 114 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 9th 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 Engelberg-Titlis with 82 km.
The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,696 metres, 79 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 3,028 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 67 at the median, CHF 9 more than the Swiss median of CHF 58. With only two areas that median is not a market, it is the midpoint between two prices.
The season runs 7 months at the median. 1 area sits on a glacier.
