No snow yet. 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.

Fellhorn/Kanzelwand, in Germany, runs from 918 m at the base to 1,965 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 7.2 km across, with 56 marked runs and 14 lifts (about 31 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 361 cm of snowfall a season, 246th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 1st in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (533 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (250 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 110 cm.

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

59% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.
