bergfex: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bergfex app free?
Yes, the bergfex app can be downloaded and used without paying: the free version shows winter maps, piste maps, snow reports, lift status, ticket prices, and webcams. A PRO subscription adds offline-grade extras such as snow forecast maps, snow history, avalanche maps, and slope-steepness shading, and it starts with a 7-day trial.
How much does PRO cost and how is it billed?
A German test report puts bergfex PRO at EUR 24 per year, checked on 15 September 2026. It is sold as an auto-renewable one-year subscription managed in the Apple App Store or Google Play, which means cancellation has to be done in the store account, not by email.
Who is it for?
The bergfex app suits skiers who move between resorts and want one source for snow depths, lift status, and webcams before committing to a drive. It is less useful as an in-resort navigator than an alliance app with A-to-B routing, so many skiers run both.
Does it replace an avalanche bulletin?
No. bergfex PRO includes avalanche maps and recent snow analysis, which help with scouting, but the official forecast for Tyrol, South Tyrol, and Trentino comes from the Euregio warning services at lawinen.report. Use the bulletin, not an app layer, for the daily danger rating.
Are there separate apps for winter and summer?
Yes, bergfex publishes a skiing and tracking app and a hiking and tracking app. Both use the same account, so one PRO subscription applies to each, and tracked activities sync to Apple Health, Garmin Connect, and Polar Flow.
