About this data

Piste km: the length of each piste, measured once along its line on the map. Resorts usually advertise more, as they add itineraries, variants or wide pistes counted as several runs; and sometimes a piste is still missing from OpenStreetMap.

The resort advertises 180 km (source: Remontées-mécaniques.net, 10/2026).
