Ski Branná
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.
Ski Branná, in Czechia, runs from 633 m at the base to 733 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 3 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 143 cm of snowfall a season, 1,761st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 13th in Czechia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (224 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (83 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 47 cm.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
99% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
By difficulty
Lift types
- Drag lift2
- Chairlift1

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 55% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Czechia (41%). In amount, March brings 26 cm, more than the median of 19 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 143 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 83 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 224 cm (2.7 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
