New snowmaking system 4.0 on the Pizol - reliable snow coverage for the winter season
With the new snow-making system 4.0, the Pizolbahnen are setting a new standard in terms of snow reliability. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, the main slopes up to Maienberg (Wangs side) and Schwamm (Bad Ragaz side) can be covered with snow over an average width of 30 meters and a uniform snow cover of 50 to 60 cm within just 80 hours - provided the external conditions are favourable.

The 1st sauna gondola in Switzerland!
It was Finns, a nation of sauna lovers, who came up with the idea of converting a disused emergency gondola lift on the Pizol into a mini wellness oasis with benches made from solid silver fir and a Nordic design sauna stove. Possibly the most unusual sauna in Switzerland enjoys a prime position with a beautiful view of the ski slopes in the middle of a small wellness village with rustic alpine shelters and a little changing lodge. A “drinks rucksack” containing beer, sparkling wine or iced tea can be reserved on request. www.pizol.com/wellnessdörfli
