Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 2261 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 2.1 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 28,396 persons, about 1420 persons/hour per lift and 684 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 23.1 km, averaging about 1.2 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.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
About 46% of mapped terrain falls in a steeper class, while 54% is moderate or gentler. Advanced experience is advisable across a meaningful part of the ski area, and expert judgement is useful on the steepest sectors or in difficult snow. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 14%, compared with 32% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

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.
