How this was measured
Skiboard measured the 63 pistes OpenStreetMap maps in Adelboden-Lenk (76.4 km) on swisstopo’s terrain model: the steepest 100 m of each, against every Swiss piste of the same colour.
Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, on terrain without snow: snow and grooming soften steps, and a piste can run beside its line. A gradient of 100 % is 45°. Colours as on the lift company’s piste map: check the current one before you go.
