New weather app feature
Off skiing this half-term?

ski app

Skiers and snowboarders can can now enjoy our significantly improved ski weather function in the app, with a whole range of detailed information at your fingertips.

Snowy landscapes, freshly prepared slopes and the crunch of freshly fallen snow under your feet: winter is here! This season, if you are a winter sports enthusiast, then you can be even better informed by Weather & Radar.

If you are heading off on a ski holiday any time soon and want to know how much snow is on your trails, you will find all the information you need on the app.

The completely renewed mountain and ski weather provides information about the current weather conditions and an overview of the weather for the next 90 minutes, plus, the latest images from webcams from the ski areas.

You'll also get a forecast overview of the temperature and weather conditions, the UV index, the wind chill and, if necessary, any weather warnings over the coming days.

Wondering if its a fresh layer of powder or hard old snow? Advanced skiers and snowboard pros can also explore our specially designed function, which indicates the amount of freshly fallen snow for each ski area, when it last snowed, plus snow depths in the valleys and mountains.

The condition of the slopes is reported daily, directly from the ski areas. The ski weather also has extensive details for cross-country skiers, who can now see how many kilometres of trails have been prepared.

The Mountain & Skiing Conditions icon will only be available if there is a ski resort open within a 50km radius of your selected location.
