The ski area is great, like many others around Switzerland. However, if we look at how the client is treated, 1 star is even too much. We booked our skipass online, but when we got to the resort, all lifts but 1 (Arven, a small chairlift) were closed due to poor weather conditions. We asked for a refund at the resort ticket counter, but we were told to contact the online customer service as the skipass had been bought online. When we contacted the customer service, we were told that we would not get any refund, because the closure was only partial (1 lift out of many was left open).

The easier slopes are on the Männlichen area. There aren’t many people when I came (Feb. 15-22). Even though the prices are expensive and the slopes aren’t really for beginners, I sure do recommend...
