Marmota Maps Map Of the Alps - 581 Ski Resorts

Information

BASIC STRUCTURE OF OUR MAP

The backbone of our map consists of contour lines at intervals of 250 meters. Thus, the map looks vivid and nicely illustrates the topography of the Alps. In addition to the borders of the eight Alpine countries and their regions, the map displays the most important roads and rivers, as well as cities and mountains as reference points.

581 SKI RESORTS

The map displays all 581 ski resorts in the Alps with a combined slope length of at least five kilometers.
The graphical boundaries of the ski resorts are limited by the outer ski lifts or slopes.

We define a ski resort as all connected slopes and lifts that can be reached on skis. If, for example, a bus is necessary to get to another lift, we count two resorts. This results in a few deviations from public counting methods, as in the case of Sellaronda. When different ski areas are linked to a defined region, e.g. the Zugspitz Arena, we note this in brackets behind the areas' names.
