Forecast snowfall: 0 mm at 1,100 m, 0 mm at 1,700 m and 0.2 mm at 2,400 m water equivalent over 24 h from 9 Nov, 22:00 · Open-Meteo · MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2, issued 9 Nov, 16:00 (Europe/Zurich). Forecast source

Grindelwald-First lies in the Bernese Oberland and is one of three separate ski areas run under the Jungfrau Ski Region name. The operator’s reference points run from Grindelwald at 1,034 m to First at 2,168 m.

Area covered: This page covers the Grindelwald-First ski area only. The Jungfrau Ski Region publishes separate areas for Grindelwald-Wengen and Mürren-Schilthorn; they are not covered here and their lifts and pistes are never added together. This forecast uses one point at Grindelwald (Firstbahn) valley station.

Sources & method

Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.

The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.

For Grindelwald-First, the 1,100, 1,700 and 2,400 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at the forecast point Grindelwald (Firstbahn) valley station, not observations or separate weather stations.

How we calculate this

Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

How this comparison works+

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.

This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Snow and lift questions

How much snow is forecast for Grindelwald-First ?

For Grindelwald-First, the Open-Meteo · MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2 forecast issued 9 Nov, 16:00 shows modelled snowfall of 0 mm at 1,100 m, 0 mm at 1,700 m and 0.2 mm at 2,400 m in the 24 hours from 9 Nov, 22:00. Amounts are millimetres of water in the snow, not snow depth. Times are local (Europe/Zurich). Forecast source ↗

How deep is the snow in Grindelwald-First ?

PisteWindow has no current snow-depth report for Grindelwald-First. Forecast figures are modelled snowfall, not snow depth. Last report 9 Nov, 21:09 · not current. Official resort information ↗

Which lifts are open in Grindelwald-First ?

PisteWindow has no current lift or piste report for Grindelwald-First. Open lifts and pistes are not inferred from the forecast. Last report 9 Nov, 21:09 · not current. Official resort information ↗

How does snowfall differ from snow depth?

Snowfall is the new snow that falls in a period. Snow depth is the total on the ground and also reflects earlier snow, melt and settling. PisteWindow’s forecast shows modelled snowfall as water in millimetres, not depth.

Before your ski day

When does Grindelwald-First open for skiing?

Opening depends on snow and is announced by the operator. The operator’s slope data lists each lift and piste with its status, and this page shows that status with the time the operator last updated it.[4][1]

Does this page cover the whole Jungfrau Ski Region?

No. The region publishes separate maps and reports for Grindelwald-First and Grindelwald-Wengen and Mürren-Schilthorn. This page covers Grindelwald-First only.[3][1]

Where do the lift status and snow figures on this page come from?

Lift and piste status and the valley and peak snow figures come from the operator’s published slope data for this area. A ground snow depth also comes from the MeteoSwiss manual station in Grindelwald village at 1,107 m, which is a valley station and not on the ski terrain.[4][5]

Are the 1,100, 1,700 and 2,400 m forecasts observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to 1,100, 1,700 and 2,400 m, calculated at one representative point (Grindelwald (Firstbahn) valley station).[2]
