Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceDense lift accessStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1050 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 2.5 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 10,460 persons, about 805 persons/hour per lift and 317 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 10.2 km, averaging about 0.8 km of lift line per lift.
