The perfect place in spring, summer, autumn and winter: Ernen, one of the most beautiful villages in the Wallis canton.
The ERNERGALEN skiing area is situated on 1235 to 2292m above sea level and is famous for its good snow conditions till late spring. Whether skiers, snowboarders or carvers, all love the four lifts and the fact that there are no waiting times. The parking lot is free.
The snowbar is located in the middle of the skiing area and the Chäserstatt restaurant offers a marvelous view of the nursery lift and the surrounding panorama.
Ernen´s alpine snowboard school provides courses for skiers, snowboarders or carvers. Ski or snowshoe tours are especially popular. You get state-of-the-art sports equipment in the Seiler sports shop. Or book the sledges for a tour from Chäserstatt to Mühlebach.
The cross-country trails are also free and the numerous winter hiking paths are very inviting. Just enjoy the lovely landscape.
It is hard to say at which time of the year Ernen is more beautiful. Is it spring when nature awakens? Or in autumn when the forests change their color? Or in winter when the snowflakes dance around the house? Decide for yourself!
