Terrain character The terrain is clearly weighted toward intermediate skiing. The largest share is about 61%.

Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceDense lift accessStrong 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 1150 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 3.2 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 8,338 persons, about 834 persons/hour per lift and 261 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 6.9 km, averaging about 0.7 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)9%
High (≤3000m)90%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 33% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 67% 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 26% 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.

North-facing terrain is prominent, generally favouring colder snow retention and slower daytime softening. Sunnier aspects may still change more quickly during mild weather.

What makes this resort different

North-facing snow keeper

Mountain character

Bonneval sur Arc is best understood as a north-facing snow keeper: a strong cool-aspect share combines with useful snow-reliability and altitude evidence.

53% north-facing terrain

Snow-reliability 93/100

The trade-off

Skiers prioritising cooler aspects and snow preservation over maximum sunshine.

The structural advantage is snow retention, not necessarily scale, access or terrain breadth.
