The 2024/2025 winter season is officially starting!
The winter season at Airolo-Pesciüm officially kicks off on Friday, December 20, 2024. Despite the challenging weather conditions in recent weeks, we are ready to welcome winter sports enthusiasts with an initial offer tailored to the current conditions. More info here
The high temperatures of the past few days have limited the planned snow production. Therefore, the "sciliftino," the magic carpet, and the "sciliftone" up to pole 5 will be available at the opening. As soon as conditions allow, we will extend the opening to the upper part of the ski lift. Additionally, for those who do not ski, there will be some hiking trails, ideal for exploring the mountain on foot and enjoying the winter landscape.
The weather forecast gives us confidence: between Thursday and Friday, there will be light snow, and more substantial snowfalls are expected between Sunday and Monday. We hope these conditions will allow us to expand the slopes for the Christmas holidays.
Opening Event Snow Motion – December 21, 2024
To celebrate the start of the season, we are organizing the "Snow Motion" opening event on Saturday, December 21, in collaboration with the Hotel and Tourism School. The event will feature a variety of activities:
Ticinopass
We are also happy to welcome holders of the Ticinopass, the new passport for the mountains of Ticino, which has already been a great success among enthusiasts. This initiative supports local winter tourism and highlights the natural beauty of our region.
Gastronomic News
This year, there are also gastronomic novelties: Gastro San Gottardo will be the new operator of all the catering points in the area, offering a renewed selection of delicious dishes to satisfy all tastes.
Public Transport and Parking
We have always supported the use of public transport, and for this reason, the free shuttle connecting the Airolo FFS station to the Airolo-Pesciüm lifts is always in operation. For those arriving by car, parking at the lifts will be subject to a small daily fee, which will help finance the shuttle service and keep the parking lot free of snow. The rates are as follows: CHF 5 per day, CHF 80 for a seasonal pass, and a 50% discount for residents of Airolo and Quinto. More info here
