Mild temperatures have taken their toll on the snow in the Ore Mountains. What this means for winter sports at the weekend.

The thaw is making the joy of winter sports melt away at the weekend. The Kammloipe Erzgebirge/Vogtland cross-country ski trail can only be used to a limited extent. The thaw has caused a lot of damage, according to reports from Johanngeorgenstadt. "The surface is very thin and completely icy." Currently, only ski tours are possible there. Elsewhere, for example around Carlsfeld or Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz, the cross-country ski trail was still usable on Friday, but no longer optimal, as the Kammloipe working group reported online.

The snow is also receding on the ski slopes. On the Fichtelberg, the lifts on the main slope were closed this week and only the descent on the Himmelsleiter is still open. Skiing is also still possible elsewhere in Saxony, for example in Eibenstock and Altenberg.
