Useful upper altitudeWider lift spacingLower published capacity
Altitude resilience
The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1031 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 8.0 slope km per lift suggests wider spacing between access points in parts of the network. Published hourly capacity is 4,350 persons, about 1088 persons/hour per lift and 136 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 4.4 km, averaging about 1.1 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is concentrated between 1,000 and 2,000 m, with no terrain below 1,000 m. Snow conditions therefore depend mainly on mid-mountain exposure, weather cycles and snowmaking rather than on vulnerable valley-floor sectors.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
The combined steeper share is about 16%, leaving 84% 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.

What makes this resort different
Family progression base
Mountain character
Tschiertschen is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.
47% blue pistes
84% moderate/gentler terrain
The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
