Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeLower published capacity
Altitude resilience The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1565 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 4.2 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 500 persons, about 83 persons/hour per lift and 20 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 0.2 km, averaging about 0.0 km of lift line per lift.
