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 29% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 71% 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 7%, compared with 22% 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.

Built in two main sectors on quite a steep hillside, Leysin has the reputation of being one of the sunniest spots in the Alps, which means the snow is typically better earlier in the season &#82..
