Marmota Maps Map of the Alps with 609 Ski Resorts

The first transnational map of the Alps with all 609 ski resorts (≥ 5 slope kilometers).

Basic structure of the map

The backbone of this 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.

609 Ski resorts

The map displays all 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. The team of Marmota Maps defines 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, it counts as two resorts. This results in a few deviations from public counting methods, as in the case of Portes du Soleil. When different ski areas are linked to a defined region, e.g. the Zugspitz Arena, it's noted in brackets behind the areas' names.

Basic information

The goal of Marmota Maps with their map is to combine a harmonious design with relevant information. For this they are allowed to use the data from skiresort.info, the largest database for ski resorts in the world. Classified by the level of difficulty they list blue, red, and black slope kilometers, and the maximum and minimum height for each ski resort. All data has been checked and updated freshly in October 2019.

Additional Information

Infographics summarize the data about the ski resorts and the Alpine countries:

• The share of the total Alpine area, and the distribution of ski resorts and slope kilometers among the seven Alpine countries (Since Monaco is part of the Alpine region but has no ski resorts the country is not included into the statistics)
• Number of ski resorts, divided by slope length
• Slope kilometers, divided by difficulty, in seven Alpine countries
• List of the ski resorts with the highest number of slope kilometers

This map is also printable on other materials!

If you are looking for a particularly fancy way in showcasing your Marmota Map or print, we can also offer prints on other materials than paper.

Foamcore: If you want to put pins or similar markers onto your map, foamcore might be the perfect choice for you. A map on foamcore is stable, yet very light and durable. The foamcore map is created with UV direct printing, in high resolution and fine detail, onto a white, silk-mat surface. Underneath is a 5 millimeter thick PVC foam board. The foamcore panel is UV-stable, printed with eco-friendly UV ink and completely VOC-free. Additional surcharge to the product price:

• 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 15.00 (5 mm)
• 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 40.00 (5 mm)
• 100 x 70 cm – from € 45.00 (5 mm)
• 140 x 100 cm – from € 140.00 (5 mm)

Aluminium composite: Aluminium composite panels are UV-stable and weather-proof, which makes them perfect both for the use inside and outside. The UV direct print, in high resolution and fine detail, is put onto a silk-mat surface. The aluminium composite panel is made out of two 0.3 millimeter thick white aluminium coatings, which are put onto a core made from polyethylene plastic. Thus the aluminium composite weighs less than aluminium, but is still very bend-proof and stable. The panel is printed with eco-friendly UV ink and completely VOC-free. Additional surcharge to the product price:

• 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 20.00 (3 mm)
• 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 50.00 (3 mm)
• 100 x 70 cm – from € 65.00 (3 mm)
• 140 x 100 cm – from € 180.00 (3 mm)

Acrylic glass: A map behind acrylic glass is certainly an eye-catcher. The depth and spatial effect of the acrylic glass adds to the elegant look of the map, or print. The motive is printed in fine art high resolution onto a transparent, self-adhesive premium digital print-layer, which is positioned under the acrylic glass. The edges are high gloss polished. Acrylic glass is very robust, weather-proof and UV-stable. This makes acrylic panels suitable for the use outside. To clean the acrylic panel you simply need dishwashing liquid, a soft cloth and, if required, an antistatic synthetics cleaning spray. Additional surcharge to the product price:

• 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) – from € 35.00 (3 mm)
• 84 x 59.4 cm (A1) – from € 135.00 (6 mm)
• 100 x 70 cm – from € 175.00 (8 mm)
• 140 x 100 cm – from € 360.00 (8 mm)
