Kristberg-Silbertal

Off season

Kristberg-Silbertal is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,353 m. Its mapped area is about 2.3 km across, with 10 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.4 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 341 cm of snowfall a season, 303rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 9th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (517 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (226 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 104 cm.

The nearest city of any size is Zurich, about 114 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 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.
