Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1633 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 5.7 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 71,915 persons, about 1240 persons/hour per lift and 219 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 58.3 km, averaging about 1.0 km of lift line per lift.

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.

Basically I am told the conditions there are the best in the country. This is probably due to the fact that San Moritz spends a lot of money making snow and grooming etc. Note this is not a big moun..
