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 there
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.

FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026
Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season
Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6
We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028
Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

Understanding the Kreuzberg snow report
Track current conditions at Kreuzberg in Germany. This report covers snowfall totals, base and summit depth, and the forecast across 11 runs.
Snow measurements
Base depth, summit depth, and recent snowfall are the core numbers to watch. At Kreuzberg, summit conditions (928m) can differ noticeably from the base, so we break both out separately rather than showing a single average.
Weather conditions
Snow quality tracks closely with temperature and wind. We surface both alongside the snowfall data so you can judge whether conditions at Kreuzberg are holding up or starting to soften.
Data sources
We pull Kreuzberg's conditions from on-the-ground mountain reporting, then layer in forecast data so you get a fuller picture than either source alone. The mountain is served by 3 lifts in total.
When to check
The biggest swings usually happen right after a storm. Check Kreuzberg's report in the morning for the freshest numbers, and again in the afternoon as conditions evolve.
