Gerlitzen Alpe

About the area

Gerlitzen Alpe offers 37 km of pistes, and the balance is clearly tilted towards confident intermediates: 18 km are red, against 11 km blue and just 2 km green. Beginners are workable rather than ideal — about 35% of the terrain (13 km) is green or blue, there are 5 magic carpets for first turns and 16 short easy runs next to a lift base, but 13% of the marked terrain is black. Families should note that only one gondola avoids chairlift loading with small children. Experts will find little here: 5 km of black or freeride terrain and a maximum single-run vertical of 459 m.

The area runs from 1,002 m to 1,907 m, so the upper slopes hold snow better than the valley return. Twenty lifts serve it, including 8 chairlifts and the gondola, which keeps queues moving. The longest run measures about 2 km.
