MetGIS - the experts for mountain weather

What does MetGIS actually mean?

"Met" stands for meteorology and "GIS" is the acronym for geographic information systems. The link between these two makes MetGIS weather forecasts so accurate. Weather data are combined with detailed terrain data. This improves our forecasts enormously, especially in difficult terrain.

How was MetGIS created?

It all began as a university-based research project. 10 years later experts from Europe, Russia, South America and Japan had developed the MetGIS algorithms. Several verification studies displayed a baffling accuracy. When more and more customers started knocking on the door MetGIS was founded.

"Reliable weather forecasts are extremely important for the daily scheduling and slope maintenance. This is why we trust in MetGIS!"

Dr. Peter Schmidl, CEO Großglockner Bergbahnen Touristik GmbH

For more exact information and management systems

For the management of ski regions and the control of cable cars and snow groomers, software tools are used more and more often.

Exact weather data play an important role, especially when they can be integrated easily into existing systems via an API.

For an efficient snow production

Mild winters and little snowfall make the efficient production of snow even more important.

More precise forecasts of the wet-bulb temperature enable you to plan better when, where and how much snow is needed. This leads to optimum results and improves your ecological balance.

For perfectly prepared ski slopes

Even if your guests don't know it: Great ski slopes are the result of hard work and a lot of know-how.

Reliable weather forecasts can save a lot of time, money and hassle. This, for example, becomes clear when strong snowfall during the night makes the preparation
