Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Dense lift access
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 932 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 3.2 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 12,869 persons, about 1430 persons/hour per lift and 444 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 6.3 km, averaging about 0.7 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 9% 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.

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 35% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 65% is moderate or gentler. Strong intermediate to advanced skiers have substantial technical options, while expert-level ability is mainly relevant on selected sectors.

Orientation

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.

West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.
