Hohe Winde is a 1,204-meter peak in the third range of the Solothurn Jura, above Beinwil in the Schwarzbubenland. From the summit, the view stretches from the Vosges to the Black Forest and all the way to the Alps. The ski area covers its northwest slope, at elevations ranging from 760 to 1,060 meters.

A 1,320-meter double chairlift serves several varied runs, some steep, some undulating, and others flatter. Near the lower station, the small, free Pinocchio chairlift is ideal for children and beginners.

At the base of the slopes, the “Wingä-Beizli” restaurant welcomes skiers. On days when the slopes are open, a shuttle runs from the Beinwil, Schachen bus stop to the ski lift.

The lifts operate on Wednesday afternoons, on weekends, and during school breaks, snow conditions permitting.
