Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Useful upper altitudeDense lift accessHigh published capacityHigher terrain cost
Altitude resilience The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods.
Lift infrastructure About 1.3 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 6,751 persons, about 1125 persons/hour per lift and 844 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 5.4 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)7%
High (≤3000m)93%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 28% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 72% 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 21% 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.

What makes this resort different

Sunny cruising domain

Mountain character

Chamois is best understood as a sunny cruising domain: sun-exposed terrain and a predominantly non-black piste mix favour relaxed, daylight-oriented cruising.

75% south/west-facing

100% non-black pistes

The trade-off

Relaxed cruising and daylight-oriented trips on predominantly non-black terrain.

Sun-exposed terrain can become more weather-sensitive during warm or marginal snow periods.
