Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain valueAbove-average snow rating
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1553 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 3.6 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 7,830 persons, about 870 persons/hour per lift and 244 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 8.5 km, averaging about 0.9 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.
The combined steeper share is about 11%, leaving 89% 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.

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.
