How Ticino compares

Ticino has 4 ski areas with 114 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 10th 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 Airolo – Pesciüm with 30 km.

The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,790 metres, which is the Swiss median of 1,774 metres almost exactly. 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 1,175 to 2,400 metres.

A day pass costs CHF 47 at the median, CHF 11 less than the Swiss median of CHF 58. The cheapest single area is Carì at CHF 45.

The season runs 5 months at the median. There is no glacier terrain here, so the season depends on snowfall and snowmaking rather than on ice.

Shared scale from 1,000 to 2,500 m. Each bar shows where the terrain begins and ends, not just its highest point. Where the terrain of each area in Ticino begins and ends, sorted by weighted altitude, highest first. Glacier areas are named as such in the label and carry a lighter bar. The Swiss median weighted altitude is 1,774 metres. Our own calculation from the elevations published by the lift companies, as of summer 2026. Weighted altitude is 60 per cent base station plus 40 per cent top station.
