How this was measured
Skiboard measured the 7 pistes OpenStreetMap maps in Nara (9.2 km) on swisstopo’s terrain model: the steepest 100 m of each, against every Swiss piste of the same colour.
Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, on terrain without snow: snow and grooming soften steps, and a piste can run beside its line. A gradient of 100 % is 45°. Colours as OpenStreetMap maps them, which can differ from the lift company’s piste map: check it before you go.

About Nara
Ski areas near Nara
Nara in numbers
63 % second homes
Hotels, homes and lifts in Acquarossa, where the area’s lifts start: the federal statistics, and what the lift company publishes.
Hotels
The Federal Statistical Office publishes no hotel figures for Acquarossa: it leaves out communes with few hotels.
Homes
63 % of the 2'307 homes in Acquarossa are second homes (housing inventory, October 2026). Above 20 %, the Second Homes Act allows no new second homes there, with narrow exceptions.
Lifts
2 installations with a federal licence (gondolas, cable cars, chairlifts and funiculars; drag lifts are licensed by the cantons). The newest licence: 1996 (Leontica - Cancorì); half of them date from 1975 or earlier.
The 2 federally licensed installations
| Installation | Type | Licensed | Length | Rise | Operator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leontica - Cancorì | chairlift | 1996 | 1'851 m | 534 m | Comune di Acquarossa |
| Cancorì - Alpe di Nara | chairlift | 1975 | 2'191 m | 476 m | Comune di Acquarossa |
Commune figures count every hotel guest, not only skiers, and holiday flats are not in the hotel statistics. A licence year is when the installation’s current federal licence starts: usually the year it opened, sometimes a renewal.
