Thuringian Forest Ski Season Opens on One Run as Weather Limits Expansion

Artificial snow enables only a narrow opening, leaving the timeline for additional terrain unclear.

Overview

  • Skiarena Silbersattel began its delayed season over the weekend with the Fellbergplateau run operating via chairlift.
  • The resort reports up to 40 centimeters of machine-made snow on that slope while the rest of the terrain stays closed.
  • Operators are continuing snowmaking to widen access, but no date has been set for additional openings.
  • Regional options are limited to Oberhof’s Fallbachhang Snowpark and the beginner Winterlernland, with cross-country skiing effectively confined to the indoor ski hall; snowtubing and a prepared toboggan run are also available.
  • The German Weather Service forecasts winter temperatures but little new snow early in the week and warns of significant ice risk from drizzle on frozen roads Monday and Tuesday.
