The Brunni-Alpthal ski area in the canton of Schwyz has the best start to the season in decades in 2021/2022.
In many places in the mountains they say: snow good, slopes good. And that also in places at lower altitudes. To the delight of the smaller winter sports areas. You have had a very good to very good start to the season.
Best start to the season in decades
Whether with the sledge at the ski lift or the skis on the magic carpet: In Brunni-Alpthal in the canton of Schwyz there has been more than enough snow for weeks for skiers and snowboarders to get their money’s worth. “The area is easy to get to. I live in Zurich and I’ll be here in less than an hour, ”says a delighted city dweller who is enthusiastic about winter sports.
We are 10 percent above the record result from 1968.
For the lift at 1,100 meters above sea level in Brunni-Alpthal, it is the best start to the season since it opened in the 1960s. “We have been open since December 4th, we are 10 percent above the record result from 1968”, says managing director Raphael Auf der Maur.
3000 guests bought tickets
So far, over 3000 tickets have been sold for the T-bar lift in Brunni-Alpthal alone. That is a lot for the rather small and familiar offer. As small as the area, so diverse are the guests. In addition to the proximity to the city, families also appreciate the good slopes for the children: “We are from Einsiedeln, the children learn to ski very well here.”
The winter landscape with a view of the Grosse Mythen also scores with tourists: “I like the landscape here very much. I come from Spain, there is hardly any snow here. “
Good weather in December
The fact that the slopes have been open since the beginning of December is essential for business. The weather and school holidays enabled a more than successful start to the season: “On the one hand, we have over a meter of snow, which is very unusual for this time of the year.” In addition, for two weeks you have fog below and beautiful weather above, which leads people to heights, says the managing director.
A very good start to the season to everyone’s delight. There is great hope in the lower-lying ski areas that the snow will not melt too quickly despite the weather change.
