Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Lower-elevation sensitivityDense lift accessHigh published capacityHigher terrain cost
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure About 1.9 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 7,500 persons, about 1071 persons/hour per lift and 556 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 5.0 km, averaging about 0.7 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

A meaningful 30% lower-mountain share lies below 1,000 m. Conditions may vary more sharply between lower access or return runs and higher terrain, while some lower sectors can offer sheltered or tree-lined skiing.

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 29% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 71% is moderate or gentler. Strong intermediate to advanced skiers have substantial technical options, while expert-level ability is mainly relevant on selected sectors.

Orientation

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.

North-facing terrain is prominent, generally favouring colder snow retention and slower daytime softening. Sunnier aspects may still change more quickly during mild weather.

Resort profile

What makes this resort different

Weather-sensitive lower mountain

Mountain character

Dreilandereck Arnoldstein is best understood as a weather-sensitive lower mountain: lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence imply greater dependence on favourable weather cycles.

Top elevation 1,552 m

Snow-reliability 46/100

The trade-off

Trips chosen with a close eye on the current weather and snow cycle rather than structural snow resilience.

Lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence increase dependence on favourable conditions.
