Meiringen-Hasliberg lies in the Bernese Oberland and is a manageable ski area: 60 kilometres of piste served by 15 lifts.

The area runs from 600 to 2433 metres above sea level, giving around 1,833 metres of vertical. The lower slopes depend on snowmaking in mild winters.

The season usually runs Dec – March.

There is a snow park, an adult day pass costs CHF 65.

What sets this ski area apart

Hasliberg is a sun terrace above the Haslital valley, settled along nine kilometres by four villages: Hohfluh, Wasserwendi, Goldern and Reuti. There was no proper road up here until 1907, and until 1930 a ban on motor vehicles, supported by the residents themselves, remained in force.

Today a cable car runs up from Meiringen to Reuti, from there an eight-seat gondola built in 2005 via Bidmi to Mägisalp, and onward the Eagle Express to Planplatten at 2250 metres. A second gondola climbs from Wasserwendi to Käserstatt; a chairlift between Bidmi and Käserstatt links what were once two separate lift companies.

The number that matters is the lower one: 600 metres. Down in the valley winter ends earlier here than in most Swiss ski areas, and the season is decided above the mid station.
