Ski-area scale
239 km. A very extensive network supports multi-day exploration and distributes visitors across more terrain. It is linked to 3 resort bases, giving visitors several accommodation and access locations; direct lift linkage can differ between bases.
Terrain character
The terrain is clearly weighted toward intermediate skiing. The largest share is about 59%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1512 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 5.3 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 98,898 persons, about 2198 persons/hour per lift and 414 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 60.0 km, averaging about 1.3 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is entirely above 1,000 m and is predominantly above 2,000 m. This generally supports colder snow retention and reduces dependence on vulnerable low-elevation return terrain.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 29% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 71% 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 22% 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.
West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.

Pretty quiet, charming village set in a narrow valley with minimal traffic, at least if you stay up in Dorf. Tax- prices make shopping for skis, sunglasses, cigarettes and booze attractive to many. ..

The trade-off
Short trips where access and lift/terrain efficiency matter more than sheer domain size.
Efficiency is the structural advantage; longer stays may favour a broader domain.
