    The Overview

    Kreuzberg offers an authentic Bavarian skiing experience in the beautiful Rhön Mountains, with 8km of varied terrain catering primarily to families and intermediate skiers. This historic resort maintains traditional character away from mass tourism, delivering uncrowded slopes and spectacular views across the rolling highlands. The manageable size makes it perfect for beginners and children, while still providing enough variety to keep improving skiers engaged throughout their visit.

    The Terrain

    11 runs across 13 km of piste

    Kreuzberg sits in the Bavarian Rhön, far north of the Alps, with 11 runs and 13 kilometres of piste between 610 metres and 928 metres, a vertical of 318 metres. The grading is 38% beginner and 62% intermediate, with no advanced or expert terrain. Lifts consist of three T-bars, including the Dreitannenlift, an older drag lift that runs for well over a kilometre and carries skiers a long way up the hill. For a low-altitude hill in central Germany it provides some of the longest descents in the Rhön, though they are gentle by Alpine standards.

    Kreuzberg is a pure local-hill experience, with a long history of skiing here and a modest, friendly atmosphere. Wide, rolling runs give beginners room to practise and intermediates room to build speed, while the longer descents provide the most satisfying turns. The area suits families, learners and weekend skiers from Franken and Hesse who want a day on snow without the drive to the Alps. At this elevation, season length depends on cold spells and snowmaking, so check conditions before heading out. Advanced skiers will find little to test them and are better off elsewhere.

    When to visit Kreuzberg

    Kreuzberg typically operates from December through March, with the most reliable conditions in January and February. The resort benefits from the Rhön's elevated plateau position, which often receives substantial snowfall when other low mountain regions struggle. The predominantly north-facing slopes maintain good snow quality throughout the season, preserving conditions after storms. The relaxed atmosphere makes it particularly appealing during weekends when larger resorts face overcrowding.

    Getting to Kreuzberg, and where to stay

    Located in northern Bavaria approximately 150km east of Frankfurt and 100km from Würzburg, Kreuzberg offers an accessible mountain escape within the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. The resort sits adjacent to the historic Kreuzberg Monastery, famous for its brewery producing excellent Franciscan beers since 1731. This central location makes it easily reachable from several major cities for day trips and weekend visits. The surrounding Rhön region offers spectacular landscapes recognized by UNESCO, with excellent cross-country skiing and winter hiking complementing the downhill options.

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Halloween weekend brings a wet, windy storm to the Sierra Nevada. Our five-day forecast has Dodge Ridge on top with 19 in, followed by Bear Valley at 15 in and Mammoth Mountain at 12 in, with most of it landing on Saturday. A winter weather advisory covers the Tahoe Basin and Mono County until 7 AM Sunday, gusts could reach 47 mph and the freezing level swings between 4,900 and 8,700 ft, so some bases will see rain. A dry spell follows from Monday.

    Lake Louise Opens Early on 1 November With Juniper Express and Easy Street

    The Rockies get their first lift-served turns of the season early. Lake Louise opens Sunday 1 November, five days ahead of schedule, after a cold October and round-the-clock work from the snowmaking and mountain crews. Terrain is limited to Juniper Express Chair and Easy Street, with two small terrain parks and the beginner area for lessons. Opening-day tickets are over 60% off, with prices rising as more lifts open. First chair is at 9:30 am under the resort’s new lift hours.

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    A Tyrolean summit lift that has been carrying guests up the Kitzbüheler Horn since 1955 is on borrowed time. Its licence runs to 2045, but a new inspection rule has made refurbishment uneconomic, so Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel will spend around €15 million on a replacement on the same line. It should hold roughly 100 people and keep running in winds that would stop today’s lift. Building starts in autumn 2027, which makes this winter and next summer the last chances to ride the old one.

    Wolf Creek Opens on Halloween Weekend as Colorado’s Early Season Gathers Pace

    Colorado’s early-season dominoes keep falling. Arapahoe Basin opened on Wednesday, Keystone follows on Friday, and now Wolf Creek is joining in on Saturday 31 October, just in time for Halloween. A storm on 23 and 24 October left 20 inches of natural snow in the San Juans, and three lifts will turn from 9:00 am, covering about 30% of the mountain. Expect rocks, unmarked obstacles and open water, but also Local Appreciation lift tickets at $73 for adults.

    Beaver Creek Installs 16 Automated Snow Guns on Birds of Prey Ahead of Record World Cup

    Beaver Creek is getting ready for the biggest Birds of Prey ever, and this time it is not leaving the snow to chance. Crews started making snow on 27 October with 16 newly installed automated guns on the lower third of the course, after last December’s warm spell forced a downhill off the schedule. Seven races across two weekends run from 3 to 13 December, the most the course has hosted since its 1997 debut, and the guns start themselves whenever the weather allows.
