Your questions about Toggenburg, answered

How big is Toggenburg?

Toggenburg has 50 pistes served by 12 lifts — 26th for pistes of the 34 resorts we track in Switzerland. On lifts it ranks 23rd of the 34.

How high is Toggenburg?

The lifts run from 900m at the base to 2262m at the top, a vertical of 1362m. Of the 34 resorts we track in Switzerland, that is the 25th highest, with the 16th biggest vertical.

The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.

Is Toggenburg good for beginners or experts?

The pistes at Toggenburg split 45% beginner, 40% intermediate and 15% advanced, against an average of 30% beginner and 29% advanced across the resorts we track in Switzerland.

On those numbers it suits beginners.

When is the ski season at Toggenburg?

Over the last ten winters Toggenburg has typically held skiable snow at mid-mountain from around 10 January to 29 January, about 20 days.

January is the best all-round month on the record, with an average base of 32cm, 74cm of new snow and 1.8 bluebird days.
