About the area
Rinerhorn is a compact area in Graubünden: 25 km of pistes, split almost evenly between 9 km blue and 9 km red, with 4 km black and 3 km of marked freeride terrain. That balance makes it clearest for intermediates, who can ski most of the mountain without hunting for links. Beginners come with caveats — only 36% of the runs are green or blue, and easy skiing is limited to two short runs beside a lift base. Families should note there is a single gondola and no chairlift, so the remaining lifts are T-bars, awkward with small children. Experts will find it too small.
The lift network is seven lifts: one gondola out of the valley at 1459 m and six T-bars above it, up to 2490 m. The longest run measures 2740 m with 682 m of vertical, the biggest continuous descent here.
