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.
Only about 6% is classified in steeper angle groups; roughly 94% is moderate or gentler. The mapped angle profile is predominantly non-technical, with limited need for expert-level technique.

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.

What makes this resort different
Family progression base
Mountain character
Les Rousses is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.
44% blue pistes
94% moderate/gentler terrain
The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
