Diedamskopf

About the area

Diedamskopf is mainly a mid-level mountain: of about 32 km of pistes, 12 km are red and 12 km blue, so intermediates get the most out of it. There is only 0.3 km of green terrain, and 38% of the runs are green or blue, so beginners are not badly served but will move onto blues quickly. Three magic carpets cover first steps, and two gondolas mean small children avoid chairlift loading, which helps families. Experts are the weak point: 7 km of black and freeride terrain (21%) and a single run with 705 m of vertical.

Ten lifts serve the area: two gondolas, two chairlifts, two T-bars, a platter and three carpets. The base sits at 838 m and the top at 2,056 m, so upper slopes hold snow better than the valley. The longest descent measures 4,866 m, and eleven short easy runs sit next to a lift base.
