Useful upper altitudeStrong vertical rangeWider lift spacingStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience
The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1270 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 6.8 slope km per lift suggests wider spacing between access points in parts of the network. Published hourly capacity is 19,912 persons, about 1810 persons/hour per lift and 265 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 13.0 km, averaging about 1.2 km of lift line per lift.

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m (58%), while a substantial 42% 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 26% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 74% 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 7%, compared with 19% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

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
Puy Saint Vincent is best understood as a north-facing snow keeper: a strong cool-aspect share combines with useful snow-reliability and altitude evidence.
65% north-facing terrain
Snow-reliability 74/100
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.
