Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 4% share below 1,000 m is the most vulnerable to mild spells, rain and late-season snow loss, while it may also provide sheltered or tree-lined skiing where local terrain permits.

Mid-mountain majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: Intermediate (≤2000m)

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

About 41% of mapped terrain falls in a steeper class, while 59% 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 8%, compared with 33% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.
