Schöneben - Belpiano is a ski area in Italy, on slopes between roughly 2,157 and 2,157 m. Its mapped area is about 9.9 km across, with 57 marked runs and 14 lifts (about 27 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 178 cm of snowfall a season, 1,335th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 95th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (282 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (114 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (51 and 48 cm on average).

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.

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.

Which way the slopes face
77% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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 December. March brings 88% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Italy (116%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 42 cm, about the same as the median of 48 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 178 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 114 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 282 cm (2.5 times as much). For 31% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
