Grächen lies in Valais and is a manageable ski area: 44 kilometres of piste served by 13 lifts.
The area runs from 1619 to 2868 metres above sea level, giving around 1,249 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.
An adult day pass costs around CHF 64.
Of note: A family classic in the Mattertal
