Engelberg-Titlis is a ski area in Switzerland, on slopes between roughly 1,841 and 1,841 m. Within 2.6 km of its centre the map shows 71 marked runs and 22 lifts (about 29 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 411 cm of snowfall a season, 160th of 3,069 worldwide and 2nd in Switzerland. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2024/25 (312 cm), reached 76% of the average. March still brings 107 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
The nearest city of any size is Luzern, about 30 km away.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 91% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Switzerland (76%). In amount, March brings 107 cm, more than the median of 60 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 411 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 312 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 577 cm (1.8 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.

Guides covering Switzerland
- Everywhere on Earth You Climb for Snow. Japan Is the One Place You Drive Toward the Sea. Across 3,069 ski areas we measure, height and snowfall move together — +0.58 in France, +0.85 in Germany. In Japan the figure is +0.02. The reason is not that elevation stopped working.
- A Black Run in Colorado and a Black Run in Austria Are Not the Same Thing. The Maps Prove It. Across 2,888 ski areas: 39% of American runs are graded advanced or harder, and 9% of Austrian ones. Nobody thinks Austria is four times gentler. The grades are measuring different things.
- How Much Does Snowfall Change From One Winter to the Next? Country by Country Over twelve winters, the typical Japanese ski area's best winter was 2.3 times its worst. In Italy and Chile it was 4.6 times, in New Zealand 4.2. Canada, Finland and Sweden come out steadier than Japan.
