Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Useful upper altitudeStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 904 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 4.5 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 14,812 persons, about 1139 persons/hour per lift and 255 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 12.3 km, averaging about 0.9 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.

High-elevation majorityNo low terrainLargest share: High (≤3000m)
Intermediate (≤2000m)41%
High (≤3000m)59%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 32% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 68% 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 8%, compared with 24% 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.

This is one of the friendliest resorts I have ever been to. The skiing and boarding though limited is varied enough to keep most people happy for at least a week. The nightlife kept me going all sea..
