The three highest
By summit altitude — the ones whose season lasts longest:
- Gstaad — 2 971 m (Glacier 3000 / Eggli)
- Grindelwald — 2 970 m (Schilthorn / First)
- Mürren — 2 970 m (Schilthorn)
Altitude makes the season
Across these 15 resorts, the gap between the lowest and the highest reaches 1 471 metres. That is the difference between a season that depends on snowmaking and one that holds from November to April without trying.
The useful rule: the rain-snow line rises about 150 metres per degree. A village at 810 m sees rain replace snow far earlier than one at 1 638 m — and whether the upper slopes stay skiable is decided by the summit, not the village.

Which resort is the highest?
Gstaad, whose highest point reaches 2 971 m (Glacier 3000 / Eggli). The village itself sits at 1 050 m.
Is the weather computed in the village or on the slopes?
Both. Each resort page gives the forecast at village altitude and at summit altitude: between the two there are often several degrees, and sometimes the difference between rain and snow.
