Welcome on Ebenalp

Winter sports 900–1726 m

The most attractive area in the Appenzellerland for skiing and snowboarding is practically on the doorstep. Short travel distances and plenty of parking spaces guarantee stress-free skiing and snowboarding fun. This area offers a genuine alternative to overcrowded ski resorts. At Ebenalp there are two powerful ski lifts (Gartenwald–Ebenalp and Gartenalp–Chlus). A further lift can be found at the end of the 3.5 km descent down the valley at Hornhang in Schwende. And for the little ones there's a free children's tow lift at Ebenalp and at the Horn ski lift. Trips with the Appenzell railway from Schwende to Wasserauen are included in the reasonably priced day and half-day tickets.
