The mix leans toward beginner terrain while retaining useful variety. The largest share is about 45%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Useful upper altitudeDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience
The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 946 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 1.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 7,920 persons, about 1320 persons/hour per lift and 932 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 5.5 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.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 21% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 79% 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 16% 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.

What makes this resort different
North-facing snow keeper
Mountain character
Fendels is best understood as a north-facing snow keeper: a strong cool-aspect share combines with useful snow-reliability and altitude evidence.
66% north-facing terrain
Snow-reliability 69/100
The trade-off
Skiers prioritising cooler aspects and snow preservation over maximum sunshine.
The structural advantage is snow retention, not necessarily scale, access or terrain breadth.
