Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Useful upper altitudeStrong vertical rangeDense lift accessHigher terrain cost
Altitude resilience The upper mountain has a useful altitude advantage in warm or marginal snow periods. The 1432 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 2.5 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 6,193 persons, about 1032 persons/hour per lift and 413 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 7.9 km, averaging about 1.3 km of lift line per lift.

Ski pass

Published ticket prices and terrain-adjusted value.

The adult day pass has a higher cost per published slope kilometre; location, infrastructure and convenience may be more important than terrain scale alone.

Altitude

Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.

Most mapped terrain lies between 1,000 and 2,000 m. The 13% 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.

Mid-mountain majorityLimited low terrainLargest share: Intermediate (≤2000m)
Low (<1000m)13%
Intermediate (≤2000m)79%
High (≤3000m)9%

Slope angle

Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.

Around 25% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 75% 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.
