How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 6in of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 4in of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 0.04in of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 12in of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 7,579ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

December is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 45in and 13 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Mürren?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Mürren the snowpack peaks at an average of 90in each season. That is among the very best we track, deeper than 95% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 73in through the month and topping out around 85in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Mürren get?

December has the most, 2.1 on average.

How often does Mürren get bluebird days?

Mürren averages 30 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is among the very best we track, more than 98% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

May is the best month for it, averaging 4.8 bluebird days and 10.8 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Mürren?

At mid-mountain Mürren sees an average of 10 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well below average: 8% of the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.

When is the best time to ski or board Mürren, and when does the season end?

Mürren typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around November 10 through to June 13, which works out at roughly 217 days of skiable cover in an average year. 201 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is among the very best we track compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in March; for the most new snow, December; for fresh snow with sunshine, May.
