Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies above 2,000 m, which generally supports colder snow retention. Only 1% lies below 1,000 m; that limited lower share is the most vulnerable to mild spells or rain and may also contain sheltered or tree-lined access where local terrain permits.
High-elevation majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: High (≤3000m)Low (<1000m)1%Intermediate (≤2000m)47%High (≤3000m)52%
Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 24% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 76% 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 18% 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.

What makes this resort different
Sunny cruising domain
Mountain character
Meran is best understood as a sunny cruising domain: sun-exposed terrain and a predominantly non-black piste mix favour relaxed, daylight-oriented cruising.
77% south/west-facing
93% non-black pistes
The trade-off
Relaxed cruising and daylight-oriented trips on predominantly non-black terrain.
Sun-exposed terrain can become more weather-sensitive during warm or marginal snow periods.
