Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Lower-elevation sensitivityLimited vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure
About 0.3 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 3,800 persons, about 633 persons/hour per lift and 2111 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 3.2 km, averaging about 0.5 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 11% share below 1,000 m is the most vulnerable to mild spells, rain and late-season snow loss, while it may also provide sheltered or tree-lined skiing where local terrain permits.
Mid-mountain majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: Intermediate (≤2000m)Low (<1000m)11%Intermediate (≤2000m)89%
Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 35% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 65% 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 9%, compared with 26% 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.
North-facing terrain is prominent, generally favouring colder snow retention and slower daytime softening. Sunnier aspects may still change more quickly during mild weather.
