Airolo

Airolo is one of the main ski resorts of Switzerland in the beautiful settings of the Swiss Alps.

It is a municipality located in Leventina, a district in the canton of Ticino and was opened in the year 2000. The resort has about 30 kilometers of slopes prepared for skiing. The Airolo Ski Resort , situated at a height of 1750 metres, has well-maintained slopes for separate skiing practices for the beginner, intermediate and the expert skiers. However, the steep terrains and perilous slopes usually leave little scope for the beginner skiers to try their skill here.

The ski resort at Airolo has ski lifts to help the skiers reach their desired skiing position. The number of these lifts adds up to six. The resort also offers excellent facilities for the skiers like a ski school. It is the place from where a skier can collect a few useful tips about skiing from a number of well trained instructors. The ski resort lacks a number of amenities too like a good restaurant or bar. However, it has facilities for night skiing and there is also a snowpark for the children.

There are not many accommodation facilities in the Airolo Ski Resort to choose from for the skiers. The only hotel present there is the Minotel Forni. The Airolo Ski Resort is yet to emerge as a top class ski resort of Europe. Yet, it is already extremely popular among the skiers and is among their choice of good ski resorts .
