Königsberg - Hollenstein
Königsberg - Hollenstein is a ski area in Austria, at about 830 m. Its mapped area is about 2.0 km across, with 16 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 7.6 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 143 cm of snowfall a season, 1,761st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 197th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (262 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (67 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 55 cm.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.
Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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 35% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 19 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 143 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 67 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 262 cm (3.9 times as much). For 28% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2024/25: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
74% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
