Overview

Obersaxen has been open for over 8 years.

Obersaxen has a large vertical rise (3,609ft). As a guide, skiers will generally not be skiing top to bottom all day as the range is too great. Skiers would typically stop a number of times when skiing top to bottom and only the fittest skiers would be able to ski top to bottom without stopping. Obersaxen has mostly beginner and intermediate runs so advanced and expert skiers may become a littled bored if they are feeling like a challenge. With 52 trails, most skiers would be happy to spend a week or so exploring the terrain at Obersaxen.
