Skiing in Ticino

The Airolo-Pesciüm ski area is located at the foot of the Gotthard massif, one of the most important Alpine crossings, in the heart of the Alps. Pesciüm is a vast natural panoramic terrace that towers above the village of Airolo. Thanks to the modern cable car, visitors can be transported effortlessly up to the Sasso della Boggia at 2065 metres above sea level every day. The Alpine landscape offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Gotthard, the Bedretto Valley and the Leventina Valley.

The ski area offers over 30 kilometres of pistes at an altitude between 1175 and 2250 metres above sea level, attracting all winter sports enthusiasts: skiers, snowboarders and snow tourers. The area offers three types of slopes, catering for beginners, advanced and expert skiers. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy the more than 10 km of snowshoe trails and savour the relaxing silence and the rugged natural beauty of the surrounding mountains.

Carì is appreciated as a tourist residential area in the Leventina Valley, thanks to its favourable and sunny location at 1650 metres above sea level on the southern slope of the Alps. Sun, sport and entertainment characterise Carì as an ideal place for sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.

In winter, Carì is transformed into a charming winter resort. The Osteria Belvedere, a mountain restaurant with a large panoramic terrace and a small playground, is located right next to the middle station. ‘Betulin du Lèi’ is the meeting point at 2300 metres above sea level, next to the second chairlift and the mountain lake ‘Lèi di Carì’.
