Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain valueAbove-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 2243 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 5.5 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 69,515 persons, about 1738 persons/hour per lift and 316 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 40.3 km, averaging about 1.0 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 28% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 72% 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 5%, compared with 23% 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.
West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.
