The data available to you is as follows.
Vector Layers
Hotels (point)

Roads (line)
Bus routes (line)

Vegetation (polygon)
Raster layers
DEM (grid of height values)
In addition, there are attribute files in excel (xls) format which match their appropriate vector layer.
Your specific requirements are
1. Create a colorised shaded relief map overlaid with the key elements of the infrastructure available in HSVA. These should be labeled and symbolised appropriately.
2. Calculate and symbolise the estimated mean annual snow depth across the entire area based on data gathered by the meteorological stations.
