Hoch-Ybrig Lift System

Hoch Ybrig's efficient lift network features 8 modern installations, including high-speed chairlifts and comfortable gondolas that serve the mountain with minimal queues even during peak periods. The crown jewel of the system is the Seebli-Spirstock cable car, which whisks skiers from 1,150m to 1,900m in just minutes, offering spectacular views across Lake Zurich and the surrounding mountains. This thoughtfully designed system provides access to a variety of terrain, from wide, gentle beginner slopes in the Weglosen area to challenging runs descending from Spirstock. What's particularly impressive is how the lift placement maximises sun exposure throughout the day, allowing skiers to follow the sunshine as they explore different sections of the mountain.

Location & Getting There

Set in the historic Swiss canton of Schwyz—one of the three founding cantons of Switzerland—Hoch Ybrig combines outstanding skiing with rich cultural heritage. The resort sits within the traditional Swiss dairy farming region, where local cheese production follows centuries-old methods. This agricultural heritage is evident in the authentic mountain restaurants serving regional specialties like Älplermagronen (Alpine macaroni) and raclette. The surrounding villages retain their distinctive Central Swiss architecture, with wooden chalets and small chapels dotting the landscape. For visitors seeking variety, Hoch Ybrig forms part of the larger "Swiss Holiday Region" which includes nearby attractions like the famous Einsiedeln Monastery with its Black Madonna, just 15 minutes away, offering a perfect cultural complement to days spent on the mountain.

Season Info

While Hoch Ybrig truly shines during the winter months from December through April, its north-facing slopes and advanced snowmaking capabilities ensure reliable conditions throughout the season. The resort benefits from a unique microclimate that often delivers excellent powder days when other nearby areas receive rain. Beyond the winter season, Hoch Ybrig transforms into a hiker's dream during summer and autumn, with the mountain lifts operating to carry visitors up to panoramic trails and traditional alpine restaurants.
