Brandnertal
About the area
Brandnertal above Brand and Bürserberg is a mid-sized area with about 44 km of piste, split into 24 km of blue and 19 km of red. There is no black, expert or freeride terrain at all, so strong skiers looking for steep pitches will run out of ideas quickly, especially as the longest continuous vertical on one run is 564 m. Beginners do best here: 56% of the pistes are green or blue, which is around 25 km, and 11 short easy runs sit right next to a lift base. Families work too, with the caveat that four of the lifts are gondolas or cable cars, so small children avoid chairlift loading.
Twelve lifts serve the area, including three gondolas, one cable car, four chairlifts and four surface lifts. Slopes run from 888 m to 1,971 m, and the longest descent measures 3,600 m.
