Off season Official site

Ski und Snowboardzentrum Fahrenberg is a ski area in Germany, at about 717 m. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 2 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 0.8 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 81 cm of snowfall a season, 2,572nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 64th in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (125 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (45 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 36 cm.

Below is a link to its official live camera.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.
