Quarten for beginners

Beginners rating -
14
Perfect
Quarten may not be the best choice for beginners due to its lack of beginner-friendly infrastructure. The resort lacks a dedicated nursery area for beginners to practice and build their confidence. Additionally, the resort does not offer ski schools or easy-to-use lifts accessible from beginner areas, making it less suitable for those new to skiing.

Quarten for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Intermediates
Perfect
Intermediate skiers will find Quarten to be a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes. The resort offers a variety of terrains, including the popular blue runs around the Walensee chairlift and the challenging red descents from the Churfirsten chairlift. The resort's reliable snow conditions and well-groomed slopes provide a great environment for intermediate skiers to enhance their skills.

Quarten for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Experts
Perfect
Quarten may not be the best fit for advanced skiers seeking adrenaline-pumping challenges. The resort primarily caters to beginners and intermediates, with a majority of its slopes being blue and red. While there are a few black runs, they are not as steep or challenging as those found in larger, more mountainous resorts.

Quarten for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Quarten may not be the first choice for snowboarders. The resort lacks dedicated snowparks or freestyle areas, making it less appealing for those looking to practice tricks or jumps. The terrain is more suited to traditional skiing, with a majority of the slopes being intermediate level, offering limited opportunities for snowboarding enthusiasts.

Quarten for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Quarten may not be the first choice for freeriders as it lacks the extensive off-piste terrain found in larger resorts. The area is more suited to beginners and intermediate skiers, with a focus on groomed runs rather than untouched powder fields. However, for those who enjoy a quieter, less crowded skiing experience, Quarten offers a peaceful alternative with beautiful scenic views.

Quarten for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Quarten may not be the first choice for families seeking a ski resort. It lacks the extensive ski schools, beginner-friendly slopes, and family-centered activities found in larger resorts. The resort is more suited to experienced skiers who prefer quieter slopes and less commercialized environments.

Quarten apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
Quarten offers a more relaxed après-ski atmosphere, perfect for those who prefer a calm evening after a day on the slopes. You can unwind at the charming lakeside bars such as SeeCafe and Restaurant Lago Mio, both offering stunning views and a cozy ambiance. For those seeking a bit more excitement, the nearby town of Walenstadt provides a few more lively options, including the popular bar, Bier Factory.
