Skilift Schilt

The Schilt and Fronalpstock area in Mollis in the Glarnerland is a small, family-friendly and ecological ski area without snowmaking facilities. It offers varied, well-groomed pistes, powder snow for freeriding and options for ski touring. A ski lift takes visitors to over 1,600 m above sea level in about ten minutes, and a ski bus connects the area with Näfels-Mollis railway station.

Families and Kids

The Schilt ski area describes itself as family-friendly, and the routes suit the whole family. Children up to one day before their 6th birthday ski free, and discounted family and children's rates are available.

Food and drinks

Directly on the piste are the Naturfreundehaus Fronalp, a mountain inn with a view, and the Verpflegungsstation Wettertannä by the valley station of the ski lift at 1,209 m above sea level. Both inns serve guests right on the slopes.

FAQ

  • Is there a ski bus to the Schilt ski area?
    Yes. On operating days (Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday) a bus service (Taxi Reust) runs from Näfels-Mollis railway station or Kirchplatz Mollis, with uphill departures at 08:15, 10:15 and 12:30 and a downhill departure at 16:10 from car park A. Telephone reservation is required.
  • Does the ski area have snowmaking facilities?
    No. The Schilt and Fronalpstock area is described as an ecological ski area that manages without snowmaking facilities, so snow conditions depend on natural snowfall.
  • Are there places to eat and stay directly at the ski area?
    Yes. The Naturfreundehaus Fronalp and the Verpflegungsstation Wettertannä lie directly on the piste, and the Ferienheim Kännelalp and the Skihütte SC Mollis also offer accommodation right by the slopes.
  • Is the access road to the ski area suitable in winter?
    The mountain road is asphalted with many passing places and winter service is provided by the municipality of Glarus-Nord. Winter equipment is recommended and a snow-chain obligation may be imposed, so the signage should be observed.
