Niederhorn
Small but perfectly formed!The Niederhorn is the ideal ski resort for families. It is easily manageable but is fun for everyone from beginners to accomplished skiers and boarders. Another advantage is that the resort is easily accessible by bus or private car. You can leave your car in the covered car park at Beatenbucht and then really enjoy the journey with the funicular to Beatenberg and then the gondola to the skiing area on the Niederhorn.
The Niederhorn’s family friendly offer – If accompanied by one parent, the first child must be paid for, but all subsequent children are free.

Innereriz
The ski lifts here are ideal for everyone from beginners to experts. For those first skiing attempts we have the Schneeschützli children’s park with its large practice and play area that both children and parents love. The Schwändli button lift is the perfect next step after the children’s park and is just a little more demanding. Skiers and boarders alike have fun on the mini ski cross course and for the real experts there are various enjoyable pistes from the Obersohl ski lift as well as the more challenging ski cross and freeride courses.
