— = not yet verified. ≈ = approximate, as stated by the source. A + preserves the operator’s “over” figure. The same network can appear for several destinations; rows must not be added together. Totals including ski routes are labelled.
When choosing a ski destination, compare the area you will actually use. Local kilometres describe a particular ski area, linked kilometres cover the wider network, and a regional ski pass covers separate areas under a shared ticket.
Verified examples in this table include: Garmisch Classic (40 km), Sudelfeld - Bayrischzell (31 km), Feldberg (24 km), Zugspitze (20 km).
Verified examples in this table include: Oberstdorf–Kleinwalsertal (130 km).
These regional totals are not presented as one connected ski area. Allow separately for travel between resorts.
A verified numerical total is available for 6 of 7 destinations in this table. Missing values are not filled with estimates. Sources and measurement differences are explained on resort pages.
Choose your base using access to the pistes and the forecast at the relevant altitude. A nearby village or mountain pass on the map does not imply a piste link or a road open in winter.
