Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Useful upper altitudeStrong terrain valueBelow-average snow rating
Altitude resilience The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1000 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 5.0 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 25,776 persons, about 1289 persons/hour per lift and 258 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 21.9 km, averaging about 1.1 km of lift line per lift.

We zijn de laatste week van maart geweest in superdevoluy. De pistes zijn uitstekend maar de liften ouderwets. In het gebied zijn nogal wat sleepliften. Het gebied is klein maar heel fijn voor elk w..

Resort profile

What makes this resort different

Family progression base

Mountain character

Superdevoluy is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.

55% blue pistes

89% moderate/gentler terrain

The trade-off

Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.

Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
