Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 297 cm of snowfall a season, 490th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 37th in Austria. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2025/26 (205 cm), reached 69% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 96 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.
