Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Useful upper altitudeDense lift accessHigh published capacityBelow-average snow rating
Altitude resilience The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1060 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 2.7 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 8,610 persons, about 1722 persons/hour per lift and 633 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 6.2 km, averaging about 1.2 km of lift line per lift.

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)32%
High (≤3000m)68%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 25% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 75% is moderate or gentler. Strong intermediate to advanced skiers have substantial technical options, while expert-level ability is mainly relevant on selected sectors. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 5%, compared with 20% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

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.

What makes this resort different

North-facing snow keeper

Mountain character

Champorcher is best understood as a north-facing snow keeper: a strong cool-aspect share combines with useful snow-reliability and altitude evidence.

58% north-facing terrain

Snow-reliability 61/100

The trade-off

Skiers prioritising cooler aspects and snow preservation over maximum sunshine.

The structural advantage is snow retention, not necessarily scale, access or terrain breadth.
