How this was measured
Skiboard measured the 15 pistes OpenStreetMap maps in Splügen-Tambo (16.6 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.

How many ski here
Bergbahnen Splügen-Tambo AG counted 76'049 winter first entries (“Skierdays / Ersteintritte”) in fiscal year 2025/26. Annual report 2025/26
Each of the twenty areas Seilbahnen Schweiz counts had at least 411'000 skier days in winter 2025/26.
A skier day or first entry is one person on the lifts for one day, whatever the ticket. Skiboard adds no score of its own: the counts are what Seilbahnen Schweiz and the lift companies publish, the placings are polls run by others. Searches and social-media posts follow the news more than skiers, so they are left out.
