It is linked to 7 resort bases, giving visitors several accommodation and access locations; direct lift linkage can differ between bases.
Terrain character
The mix leans toward intermediate terrain while retaining useful variety. The largest share is about 44%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical range
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 2174 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 4.1 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 59,393 persons, about 1188 persons/hour per lift and 291 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 80.8 km, averaging about 1.6 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 3% 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.
About 42% of mapped terrain falls in a steeper class, while 58% 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 12%, compared with 30% 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.
East-facing terrain is prominent, favouring earlier sun and often firmer snow later in the day once direct morning exposure has passed.

Located at the foot of three of the most famous mountains in the world, the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau. Interlaken likes to think of itself as a big village, rather than a town, but fortunate..
