Season Info
Nebelhorn operates one of Germany's longest ski seasons, typically running from mid-December through early May with exceptional snow reliability throughout. The resort benefits from its position as the Allgäu's highest skiing destination, receiving substantial natural snowfall that combines with comprehensive artificial snowmaking across 11 kilometres of pistes. Peak conditions occur from January through March, when the predominantly north-facing slopes maintain excellent powder quality and firm piste surfaces.
