Altitude, access and value

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 1636 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 5.2 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 64,736 persons, about 1505 persons/hour per lift and 288 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 50.4 km, averaging about 1.2 km of lift line per lift.

Its a magical place with many positive aspects. Nice and small skiing area, ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers with not a great deal of harder slopes for those experiences skiers.
