Nice quiz but sneaky! The slope Schifer-Küblis in Davos and Belalp-Balten in Belalp exist, but are so low in altitude that they are almost always closed.

The only one that I would argue is Courmayeur. Between Pointe Helbronner and Entrèves is not a slope anymore, but an off-piste itinerary. And the vertical drop in Sölden is actually 1884 meters, the 3340 point on the ski map is not the top of the lift but a mountain nearby.
