Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 2026 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 3.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 235,067 persons, about 1866 persons/hour per lift and 553 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 118.4 km, averaging about 0.9 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude

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.

High-elevation majorityNo low terrainLargest share: High (≤3000m)

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 28% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 72% 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 6%, 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.

West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.
