Skilift Bäretswil

Skilift Bäretswil (Skilift-Genossenschaft Steig Bäretswil) is a small, family-friendly ski area in the Zürich Oberland region. It has several surface lifts, including the Tellerlift as the longest lift at 450 metres with 110 metres of vertical, and the Grizzly-Turbo at 130 metres. Facilities include a children's area with a pony lift, a prepared sledging run and the Skibeizli, a meeting point for snow sports enthusiasts, companions and walkers.

Families and Kids

The Kinderland Bella & Beno lets children learn skiing and snowboarding in a playful way, with figures placed on the piste to ski around. Children reach the slope with the pony lift, and staff are on site whenever the ski lift is operating.

Food and drinks

The Skibeizli is a popular meeting point for snow sports enthusiasts, companions and walkers, offering hot and cold drinks and simple menus. At weekends sausages and French fries are available from a grill stand in front of the Skibeizli. In winter, fondue or raclette can be enjoyed there.
