Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Dense lift accessHigh published capacityStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1069 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 2.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 95,017 persons, about 1188 persons/hour per lift and 495 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 67.9 km, averaging about 0.8 km of lift line per lift.

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

The combined steeper share is about 14%, leaving 86% as moderate or gentler terrain. Most of the ski area is broadly accessible, but advanced or expert experience is useful on selected sectors, particularly when surfaces are firm or visibility is poor.

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.
