Stuhleck - Semmering

Off season Official site

Stuhleck - Semmering is a ski area in Austria, on slopes between roughly 1,325 and 1,325 m. Its mapped area is about 5.7 km across, with 33 marked runs and 12 lifts (about 22 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 130 cm of snowfall a season, 1,954th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 201st in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (212 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (83 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 40 cm.

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

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.
