The mix leans toward intermediate terrain while retaining useful variety. The largest share is about 49%.
Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeWider lift spacingStrong 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 1980 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 6.1 slope km per lift suggests wider spacing between access points in parts of the network. Published hourly capacity is 91,854 persons, about 1351 persons/hour per lift and 223 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 81.0 km, averaging about 1.2 km of lift line per lift.

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.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
Around 36% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 64% is moderate or gentler. Strong intermediate to advanced skiers have substantial technical options, while expert-level ability is mainly relevant on selected sectors. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 9%, compared with 27% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.
