How this was measured
Skiboard measured the 7 pistes OpenStreetMap maps in Sarn Heinzenberg (15.4 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 OpenStreetMap maps them, which can differ from the lift company’s piste map: check it before you go.

Hotels, homes and lifts in Cazis, where the area’s lifts start: the federal statistics, and what the lift company publishes.
Hotels
The Federal Statistical Office publishes no hotel figures for Cazis: it leaves out communes with few hotels.
Homes
27 % of the 1'724 homes in Cazis are second homes (housing inventory, October 2026). Above 20 %, the Second Homes Act allows no new second homes there, with narrow exceptions.
Lifts
One installation with a federal licence (gondolas, cable cars, chairlifts and funiculars; drag lifts are licensed by the cantons). The newest licence: 1999 (Lescha - Dultschegnas); half of them date from 1999 or earlier.
The 1 federally licensed installations

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lescha - Dultschegnas | chairlift | 1999 | 1'651 m | 401 m | Heinzenberg Skilifte und Sesselbahn AG |
Commune figures count every hotel guest, not only skiers, and holiday flats are not in the hotel statistics. A licence year is when the installation’s current federal licence starts: usually the year it opened, sometimes a renewal.
