8 km. A compact network is practical for short stays and straightforward navigation.
Terrain character
The terrain is clearly weighted toward intermediate skiing. The largest share is about 50%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Lower-elevation sensitivityLimited vertical rangeHigher terrain cost
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure
About 4.0 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 2,250 persons, about 1125 persons/hour per lift and 281 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 1.2 km, averaging about 0.6 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is concentrated between 1,000 and 2,000 m, with no terrain below 1,000 m. Snow conditions therefore depend mainly on mid-mountain exposure, weather cycles and snowmaking rather than on vulnerable valley-floor sectors.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Only about 3% is classified in steeper angle groups; roughly 97% is moderate or gentler. The mapped angle profile is predominantly non-technical, with limited need for expert-level technique.

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.
East-facing terrain is prominent, favouring earlier sun and often firmer snow later in the day once direct morning exposure has passed.

What makes this resort different
Weather-sensitive lower mountain
Mountain character
Habkern is best understood as a weather-sensitive lower mountain: lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence imply greater dependence on favourable weather cycles.
Top elevation 1,485 m
Snow-reliability 40/100
The trade-off
Trips chosen with a close eye on the current weather and snow cycle rather than structural snow resilience.
Lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence increase dependence on favourable conditions.
