Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
The combined steeper share is about 14%, leaving 86% as moderate or gentler terrain. Most of the ski area is broadly accessible, but advanced or expert experience is useful on selected sectors, particularly when surfaces are firm or visibility is poor. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 5%, compared with 9% 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
Family progression base
Mountain character
Gaissau Hintersee is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.
67% blue pistes
86% moderate/gentler terrain
The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
