Eggli – La Videmanette (Gstaad)
About the area
With 39 km of pistes, this is a gentle area: 24 km, or 62% of the network, is green or blue, and three short easy runs sit right next to a lift base, so first-timers can repeat them without committing to a long descent. Only 5 km, 14%, is black or freeride terrain, so strong skiers will run out of challenge quickly, even if one run drops 1032 m in a single go. Families are well served on the terrain, and four gondolas mean small children can board without a moving chairlift, though 9 km of red pistes still ask for control.
Skiing runs from 967 m to 2152 m, so the lower slopes depend on cold weather rather than altitude. Eleven lifts serve the area: four gondolas, three chairlifts, three drag lifts and one rope tow. The longest single run measures 4965 m.
