How Vaud compares

Vaud has 5 ski areas with 469 kilometres of piste between them, which puts it 4th of the 14 Swiss cantons that have skiing. That is 7.4 per cent of all the piste kilometres in the country. The biggest single area is Gstaad (inkl. Zweisimmen und Glacier 3000) with 200 km.

The areas sit at a median weighted altitude of 1,688 metres, 86 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 948 to 2,971 metres.

A day pass costs CHF 65 at the median, CHF 7 more than the Swiss median of CHF 58. The cheapest single area is Les Mosses / La Lécherette at CHF 52.

The season runs 5 months at the median. 1 area sits on a glacier.

Shared scale from 500 to 3,000 m. Each bar shows where the terrain begins and ends, not just its highest point. Where the terrain of each area in Vaud 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.
