Compact ski areaBeginner focusDense lift network
Ski-area scale 22.7 km. A compact network is practical for short stays and straightforward navigation. It is linked to 2 resort bases, giving visitors several accommodation and access locations; direct lift linkage can differ between bases.
Terrain character The mix leans toward beginner terrain while retaining useful variety. The largest share is about 46%.

Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Lower-elevation sensitivityDense lift accessHigh published capacityBelow-average snow rating
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1075 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 11,006 persons, about 1001 persons/hour per lift and 485 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 7.7 km, averaging about 0.7 km of lift line per lift.

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.

Around 35% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 65% 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 29% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.

Orientation

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.

West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.
