Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m (62%), while a substantial 38% lies above 2,000 m. No mapped terrain is below 1,000 m, reducing exposure to the most vulnerable low-elevation snow conditions while retaining a meaningful colder upper-mountain share.

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 34% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 66% 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.

What makes this resort different

North-facing snow keeper

Mountain character

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

81% north-facing terrain

Snow-reliability 54/100

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.
