Terrain character
The terrain is clearly weighted toward intermediate skiing. The largest share is about 69%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Dense lift access
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure
About 2.6 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 6,420 persons, about 642 persons/hour per lift and 247 per slope kilometre.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is concentrated between 1,000 and 2,000 m, with no terrain below 1,000 m. Snow conditions therefore depend mainly on mid-mountain exposure, weather cycles and snowmaking rather than on vulnerable valley-floor sectors.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 24% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 76% 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 17% 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.
