Skigebiet Ochsenkopf

Off season Official site

Skigebiet Ochsenkopf is a ski area in Germany, at about 991 m. Its mapped area is about 4.2 km across, with 10 marked runs and 10 lifts (about 6.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 107 cm of snowfall a season, 2,287th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 51st in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (197 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (60 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 48 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.

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.
