Tschiertschen
About the area
Tschiertschen is a small Graubünden area with about 20 km of marked pistes, split almost evenly between blue (9 km) and red (9 km) runs, plus roughly 2 km rated black. That mix makes it primarily a place for intermediates who want quiet, straightforward descents. Beginners can get started here — 46% of the terrain is green or blue, and there are two short easy runs next to a lift base — but the 8% of black and freeride terrain is not enough to hold committed experts, and the offer is thin for families.
Five lifts serve the mountain: two chairlifts, two T-bars and one rope tow. The ski area runs from 1355 m to 2377 m, giving a maximum vertical of 602 m on a single run, and the longest descent measures 2368 m — long enough to make a full top-to-bottom lap worthwhile.
