Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Dense 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. The 1193 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 1.6 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 9,020 persons, about 1128 persons/hour per lift and 710 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 5.5 km, averaging about 0.7 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 7% share below 1,000 m is the most vulnerable to mild spells, rain and late-season snow loss, while it may also provide sheltered or tree-lined skiing where local terrain permits.

Mid-mountain majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: Intermediate (≤2000m)
Low (<1000m)7%
Intermediate (≤2000m)86%
High (≤3000m)7%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 28% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 72% 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 6%, compared with 22% 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.

South-facing terrain is prominent. It can provide sunnier skiing, but surfaces are more likely to soften early and lose snow faster during mild or late-season periods.
