Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeWider lift spacingAbove-average snow rating
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1697 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 6.3 slope km per lift suggests wider spacing between access points in parts of the network. Published hourly capacity is 8,400 persons, about 1400 persons/hour per lift and 224 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 5.5 km, averaging about 0.9 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is entirely above 1,000 m and is predominantly above 2,000 m. This generally supports colder snow retention and reduces dependence on vulnerable low-elevation return terrain.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 33% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 67% 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 27% 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.
South-facing terrain is prominent. It can provide sunnier skiing, but surfaces are more likely to soften early and lose snow faster during mild or late-season periods.
