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)
Intermediate (≤2000m)45%
High (≤3000m)55%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

About 42% of mapped terrain falls in a steeper class, while 58% is moderate or gentler. Advanced experience is advisable across a meaningful part of the ski area, and expert judgement is useful on the steepest sectors or in difficult snow. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 21%, compared with 21% 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.

South-facing terrain is prominent. It can provide sunnier skiing, but surfaces are more likely to soften early and lose snow faster during mild or late-season periods.
