The Terrain
12 runs across 12.7 km of piste
Todtnauberg is a modest Black Forest ski area on the southern side of the Feldberg, with 12 runs over 12.7 kilometres from 1,000 to 1,400 metres, a vertical of 400 metres. The Sanity grading is 27% beginner and 73% intermediate, and there are no advanced or expert pistes, so the character is steady rather than steep. Five lifts, four T-bars and one other surface lift, carry skiers up, and none of them is a chair. That makes for a traditional, no-frills Schwarzwald experience where the pace is deliberately unhurried.
Red runs line the mountain and the Stübenwasen lift is the longest tow on the hill. Kapellenlift is floodlit on certain evenings, which makes Todtnauberg a good option for after-work skiing from Freiburg and Basel. Beginners will find easier ground, but the most natural fit is the intermediate who wants sunny, well-groomed terrain without crowds. Advanced skiers should look at larger areas, since there is nothing here designed to test them. Treat it as a friendly local hill with a tidy mix of cruisers and a relaxed feel.

Frequently asked
When is Todtnauberg's ski season?
Todtnauberg's 2026 - 2027 season typically runs from December 19 through March 21. That window is roughly 92 calendar days, though daily operations depend on snow cover, weather, and lift maintenance.
Resorts in Germany, Europe often announce firm dates closer to winter; check the live snow report before you travel if you are planning around opening weekend or spring closure.
How much skiable terrain does Todtnauberg have?
Todtnauberg lists about 12.7 km of piste of marked terrain spread across 12 named runs. That footprint is what most riders experience on a lift-served day. Side-country or hike-to terrain may sit outside these published numbers.
Use the trail map to see how the mountain is laid out and where the longest fall-line runs connect back to base.
What is the terrain like at Todtnauberg?
Trail grading at Todtnauberg breaks down roughly as 27% beginner, 73% intermediate. The mix is balanced enough for mixed-ability groups, so learners can stay on marked green/blue (Blue/Red) terrain while stronger skiers peel off to steeper pitches.
Percentages describe the resort's published piste mix, not vertical metres. A mountain with modest "expert" stats can still feel demanding if the steep terrain is long or exposed. Read the trail map alongside these numbers when planning your route.
How many lifts does Todtnauberg have?
Todtnauberg operates 5 lifts across 2 lift types. The fleet includes 4 t-bars and 1 surface lift.
Lift mix affects how quickly you can lap your favourite zones. Gondolas and trams move big crowds to mid-mountain, while shorter chairs and surface lifts often serve learning areas or local pods. Check the live snow report on ski days for real-time open/closed status.
What is the elevation and vertical drop at Todtnauberg?
Base elevation at Todtnauberg is about 1,000 m (3,281 ft), with the summit around 1,400 m (4,593 ft), giving roughly 400 m (1,312 ft) of vertical from base to top.
Higher start heights usually mean colder, drier snow holding longer into spring, but also thinner air and faster weather changes. Pack layers if you are riding from village level to summit lifts in one day.
How much snow does Todtnauberg get each season?
Todtnauberg averages about 61 cm (24 inches) of natural snowfall per season. That is a long-term climate figure. Any single winter can run well above or below it depending on storm track and temperature.
For trip planning, pair this baseline with the live snow report and webcams: fresh cycles show up in overnight totals and summit cameras long before season averages tell you much about today's surface.
Where can I buy Todtnauberg lift tickets and how much do they cost?
Published single-day adult pricing on SnowStash currently spans €13 to €37, depending on date band and whether you are buying peak or regular windows. Contact the resort ticket office or check our lift tickets page for the latest purchase options.
Buying ahead of peak holidays and weekends generally saves money and guarantees access on sold-out days. Before you commit, scan the snow report and webcams so you are paying for conditions that match your expectations.
How can I check snow and mountain conditions at Todtnauberg before I go?
SnowStash pulls together 2 live mountain webcams, a downloadable piste map, and the daily snow report for Todtnauberg so you can plan from home. Webcams refresh on a short interval and are the fastest way to judge visibility, wind exposure, and whether storm snow is still falling.
The snow report adds structured totals, base depth where available, and lift/trail status when the resort publishes it. Use both together: cameras show what it looks like right now, and the report summarises numbers your group can compare day to day.
Does Todtnauberg have a trail map?
Yes. The downloadable PDF/image map is better for offline planning, marking meeting points, and understanding the full mountain layout at a glance.
Both versions are on the trail map page for Todtnauberg. If you are navigating with kids or meeting friends across separate lifts, screenshot or print the static map and keep the live map open on your phone for operational updates.
Where is Todtnauberg located?
Todtnauberg sits in Germany, Europe. That regional context matters for travel planning: airport transfers, snow tyres, and typical storm patterns all follow geography as much as resort marketing.
Browse nearby accommodation from the resort page if you are comparing village-base vs valley-base stays; where you sleep changes your first lift of the day more than most trail stats do.
