Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Useful upper altitudeStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience
The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1200 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 5.8 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 26,034 persons, about 2170 persons/hour per lift and 372 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 20.4 km, averaging about 1.7 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
Most mapped terrain lies above 2,000 m, which generally supports colder snow retention. Only 4% lies below 1,000 m; that limited lower share is the most vulnerable to mild spells or rain and may also contain sheltered or tree-lined access where local terrain permits.
High-elevation majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: High (≤3000m)Low (<1000m)4%Intermediate (≤2000m)23%High (≤3000m)73%
Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 22% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 78% 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 5%, compared with 17% 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.
