Forecast today: Rain
- Max temp: 6.1 °c
- Min temp: 1.8 °c
- Last snowed: Fri 03 Jan
The 80km of slopes mostly suit intermediates, but thanks to the plentiful snowfall and around 18km of marked off piste ski routes, this is also an excellent resort for advanced skiers looking for their powder fix.
With the option to base yourself either in the valley at Mellau (linked to the ski area via gondola) or in Damüls further up the mountain putting you right in the heart of the action, there is something for every type of guest.

SnowPros and cons
- Fantastic snow record and plentiful powder
- Great lift system serving varied runs
- Hidden gem in the Austrian Bregenzerwald
- Resort run to Mellau at low altitude
- Mostly short runs with small vertical drops
- Sunny orientation can lead to slushy lower slopes
On the Slopes
Although it is not the highest as it only tops out at 2050m, the microclimate provided by its location near the Bodensee on the northern edge of the Alps means it has one of the best snow records of any Alpine ski resort. An impressive and ever-improving lift system whisks skiers and boarders up to these snowsure slopes.
Beginners are very well catered for on the edge of Damüls itself and also at the top of the Mellaubahn gondola. Progression on to longer blues is good, particularly under the new Oberdamüls six-pack chairlift. Intermediates have a great choice of groomed runs, although longer routes are hard to come by – vertical drops of less than 500m dominate here. It is then during powder days when the resort and the marked ski routes come alive for advanced and expert skiers and riders, but even without fresh snow there are some decent blacks beneath the Suttis chair.
Getting to Damuls/Mellau
Friedrichshafen is the nearest airport and the drive takes just over an hour, with Memmingen airport is around an hour and a half away. With more regular flights than the former two, Zürich can be reached in around two hours, whilst Munich and Innsbruck are both two and a half hours away.
- Friedrichshafen airport: 1 hour (driving)
- Memmingen airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
- Zürich airport: 2 hours (driving)
- Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (560 miles)

Updated 03/01
A bitterly cold start to the weekend will lead to snow for most of the country from Saturday onwards. The best of this will be in the west of the country – where the weather is coming from – with about 20cm down overnight Saturday into Sunday. This will fall over higher ground as, whilst the freezing line does start low, climbs rapidly over the course of Saturday. The east of the region will see a few floccons and about 5cm down.
More snow then moves in on Monday afternoon as another low pressure brings unsettled conditions to the region. Again, the best of this will be in the west with another foot expected down, dropping to half of this in the east. The freezing line will drop at the same time, allowing this snow to reach lower elevations, too, before climbing back up over the course of Wednesday. Unsettled weather will continue into the second half of the week.
