Map Of the Alps - 266 Ski Resorts

Information

BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE MAP

The backbone of our map consists of contour lines at intervals of 250 meter.
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.

266 SKI RESORTS

The map displays all ski resorts in the Alps with a combined slope length of at least 25 kilometers.
The graphical boundaries of the 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.
