Adelboden
How's the snow right now?
What the weather has been doing on the mountain as of 2026-05-09. These are the things that turn a good ski day into a bad one: temperatures, wind, freshness.
This season vs same-week median
Snow depth so far this season (solid) against the historical median for the same week of the year (dashed). As of 2026-05-10.
Avalanche outlook
Risk today: low. Rises to moderate this afternoon. Region: Adelboden.
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. As a consequence of warming during the day individual natural wet avalanches are possible. This applies in particular on steep north facing slopes between approximately 2200 and 2600 m, but in isolated cases also on very steep east and west facing slopes between approximately 2500 and 3000 m. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. <br/> Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
Snow reliability and depth by week
How reliably this resort holds snow week-by-week, and how deep it usually gets. Bars show how often the snowpack reaches at least 30cm; the line is the typical depth, with the band stretching from lean winters to bumper ones. Drawn from the last 25 winters.

Method & sources
The composite score weights snow reliability against the historical baseline, pulls in live conditions where available, then adjusts for how much hassle the trip actually is for your group.
- 01ERA5-Land hourly grid → daily SWE & snow depth at the resort cell.
- 02Bias-correct against ground stations (SLF / Météo-France nivôse).
- 03Build per-week climatological percentile · 35 winters.
- 04Anomaly = current week vs. cell's own 30-year baseline.
- 05Snow-sure read at the highest-snow cell within ~15km. When most resorts are bare, ranking shifts toward this, surfacing glaciers in shoulder seasons.
- 06Weight + rank against your origin & vibe profile.
