How much snow is there in Alpbachtal - Wildschonau and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Alpbachtal - Wildschonau daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/austria/alpbachtal. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2030 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Alpbachtal - Wildschonau?

Between 830 and 2030 metres, a vertical drop of 1200 m.
