Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Lower-elevation sensitivityStrong vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1205 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 1.3 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 8,738 persons, about 1092 persons/hour per lift and 824 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 6.4 km, averaging about 0.8 km of lift line per lift.

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. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 10%, compared with 24% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

What makes this resort different

Balanced all-rounder

Mountain character

Feuerkogel Ebensee is best understood as a balanced all-rounder: no single structural trait dominates strongly enough to define the destination on its own.

11 km pistes

Top elevation 1,648 m

The trade-off

Mixed groups wanting a broad compromise rather than one dominant mountain speciality.

The balanced profile means fewer extreme structural strengths to anchor a very specific trip goal.
