The longest downhill runs & ski slopes in Lucerne – Lake Lucerne

There is a little paradise in Melchsee-Frutt just waiting for demanding skiers – the "Paradiesli " is the black-marked downhill run from the Bonistock to the Bettenalp. There is plenty of room on this wonderfully wide piste for carvers and snowboarders to enjoy.

The glacial descent from the Titlis through the steep Rotegg is a dream for good skiers. It’s high alpine character and views as far as and beyond the Swiss border give this slope a real majestic touch.

Views at the start of this sunny piste extend over ten Swiss lakes and vertically down to the Rütli meadow; spectacular to say the least, with the majority of wide and easy slopes also offering a glimpse of the Mythen mountain range as you make your way down.

Visit Stoos any time during winter and soak up the competitive atmosphere. The Franz Heinzer Piste on the northern slope of the Klingenstock is a FIS-approved training and racing location. Apart from the racing it is also open to serious amateurs.

Experienced skiers really come into their own on the Gemsstock above Andermatt with its high-Alpine terrain, magnificent panorama and challenging slopes. The highlight is the descent on the Bernhard Russi Run to Gurschen.

Weglosen downhill descent. A classic favorite for ski cracks in search of a challenge.

The descent from the Titlis to Engelberg is one of the longest in the Alps – a full twelve kilometres. In its upper part especially, there are some exceptionally difficult sections. From time to time, however, it runs along gentle terrain.
