Lockers and ski storage

Large, medium and small lockers are available at the valley and mountain stations. There are also ski depots on the mountain and in the valley. You can comfortably put on your ski equipment in the heated room in the valley station. Payment is possible by card, mobile phone or coin.

Picnic area

In the mountain station, 1st basement (take the path around the house) is a picnic room available. Open 10-15h - not reservable.

Wheelchair & other assistive devices

The gondola lift is at ground level and thus offers uncomplicated boarding with a wheelchair or other assistive device.

In winter, however, the best way to get to the lake and back is with the help of a sledge.

Otherwise, access to the Bergstübli directly at the mountain station is guaranteed.

Up-to-date information on open facilities and restaurants as well as hiking trails and interactive hiking map.
