When to visit Nebelhorn
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. The resort's high altitude and strategic aspect ensure consistent skiing well into spring, often providing the region's last available skiing when lower resorts have closed. Clear weather days offer extraordinary visibility across the Alpine panorama, whilst the elevated position creates a unique microclimate that preserves snow quality longer than surrounding areas.

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.
