Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Lower-elevation sensitivityLimited vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure
About 1.0 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 3,220 persons, about 805 persons/hour per lift and 805 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 1.4 km, averaging about 0.4 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m (61%), while a substantial 39% 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 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.

What makes this resort different
Weather-sensitive lower mountain
Mountain character
Sankt Jakob im Walde is best understood as a weather-sensitive lower mountain: lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence imply greater dependence on favourable weather cycles.
Top elevation 1,200 m
Snow-reliability 57/100
The trade-off
Trips chosen with a close eye on the current weather and snow cycle rather than structural snow resilience.
Lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence increase dependence on favourable conditions.
