Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is entirely above 1,000 m and is predominantly above 2,000 m. This generally supports colder snow retention and reduces dependence on vulnerable low-elevation return terrain.
High-elevation majorityNo low terrainLargest share: High (≤3000m)Intermediate (≤2000m)35%High (≤3000m)65%
Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
About 42% of mapped terrain falls in a steeper class, while 58% is moderate or gentler. Advanced experience is advisable across a meaningful part of the ski area, and expert judgement is useful on the steepest sectors or in difficult snow. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 7%, compared with 35% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

Mountain character
Buchenberg Buching is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.

The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
