Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

The combined steeper share is about 9%, leaving 91% as moderate or gentler terrain. Most of the ski area is broadly accessible, but advanced or expert experience is useful on selected sectors, particularly when surfaces are firm or visibility is poor.
