How Schwyz compares
Schwyz has 4 ski areas with 144 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 6th of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing. That is 2.3 per cent of all the piste kilometres in the country. The biggest single area is Hoch-Ybrig with 50 km.
The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,361 metres, 414 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 800 to 1,935 metres.
A day pass costs CHF 57 at the median, essentially the Swiss median of CHF 58. The cheapest single area is Sattel-Hochstuckli at CHF 44.
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.
