Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Strong vertical rangeHigh published capacityStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1340 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 3.6 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 42,120 persons, about 2006 persons/hour per lift and 556 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 19.4 km, averaging about 0.9 km of lift line per lift.

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 8% share below 1,000 m is the most vulnerable to mild spells, rain and late-season snow loss, while it may also provide sheltered or tree-lined skiing where local terrain permits.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 21% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 79% 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 6%, compared with 15% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.
