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 27% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 73% 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 22% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.
