Sources / data

Mapped piste distance and lift counts are derived from OpenStreetMap geometry assigned to this ski area. Official advertised figures, when shown, come from the ski-area or operator source and are stored separately. They can legitimately differ. Weather on this page is an Open-Meteo model forecast at base/mid/summit sampling points, not a resort snow report. Unclassified pistes are shown neutrally and are not guessed into a colour.
