Disentis 3000 lies in Grisons and is a manageable ski area: 60 kilometres of piste served by 10 lifts.
The area runs from 1150 to 2833 metres above sea level, giving around 1,683 metres of vertical. The upper slopes therefore sit at an altitude that usually holds snow reliably even in weaker winters.
The season usually runs Dec – April.
There is a snow park, an adult day pass costs CHF 62.
Of note: Freeriding, linked to Andermatt-Sedrun via the SkiArena

What sets this ski area apart
Above the village stands the Benedictine abbey, founded around 720 to 750 over the graves of Saints Sigisbert and Placidus. For centuries its role was guarding the Lukmanier pass, the lowest direct crossing of the Alps, over which German emperors travelled to Italy. The monastery still shapes the place today, monastery school included.
The ski area is called Disentis 3000 and nearly lives up to the name: it reaches 2833 metres, while the village lies at 1150. That span of almost 1700 vertical metres is the reason for its reputation as freeride terrain. Since 2019 there has been a connection to the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun.
The railway station has a quirk that rarely gets explained: this is where the Glacier Express changes locomotives. The Rhaetian Railway runs on adhesion, the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway partly on rack, and no single locomotive does both.

A guide value, not a timetable: the real journey time depends on when you leave and what you connect to, and winter-only bus services are not yet included.

Frequently asked about Disentis 3000
How high is Disentis 3000?
The ski area runs from 1,150 to 2,833 metres above sea level, a vertical range of 1,683 metres. For snow reliability the lower figure matters more: that is where the snow disappears first, and where a mild December is felt before it is felt at the top.
How many kilometres of piste does Disentis 3000 have?
60 kilometres on 10 lifts, according to the operator. There is no binding standard for measuring piste kilometres, so the figure is comparable between resorts only to a point. The lift count says at least as much about how big a place feels.
What does a day pass at Disentis 3000 cost?
CHF 62 for an adult day pass at the standard rate, as of summer 2026. Booked early it is often less; on a peak Saturday it is not. Arriving by public transport takes up to 30 per cent off through the Snow’n’Rail scheme.
