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 1600 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 4.2 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 81,776 persons, about 1386 persons/hour per lift and 327 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 59.7 km, averaging about 1.0 km of lift line per lift.
