Snow report Saalbach Hinterglemm

The data comes from the Open-Meteo weather service and is fetched fresh every half hour. The measuring point is the Zwölferkogel, the home mountain above Hinterglemm, at 1,984 m above sea level.

Snow depth is a model value, not a measurement taken on the piste. It reliably shows the order of magnitude — for the exact cover on a particular run, the lift operator is the right source.

Down in the valley at 1,000 m there is regularly nothing, while a metre of cover sits above. Anyone who wants to know the conditions before travelling needs the value from the mountain, not from the village centre.

So this is the summit area. Up there, the feels-like temperature and the wind say more about the day than the plain reading does.

Which lifts are running and whether the valley run is open is reported by the Skicircus, not by us. Those figures change during the day; we deliberately do not repeat them here rather than show them out of date.

For operating status, the official mountain railway report is the reliable source. Our part is the equipment that suits these conditions.
