Only 40’ away from Berne is a small low-budget ski resort called Wierihorn at an altitude of 1000m. It is an ideal place for beginners with a gentle slope and a ski school for people wanting to take lessons.
Those who are a little more aspiring can go up to 1700m where the snow quality is better and the tracks a bit more demanding.
At an altitude of about 1000m at present (mid February) there isn’t that much snow left. The tracks are artificially reinforced with snow produced by snow cannons.
