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.

Only about 4% is classified in steeper angle groups; roughly 96% is moderate or gentler. The mapped angle profile is predominantly non-technical, with limited need for expert-level technique.

Orientation

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.
