In Les Contamines-Montjoie, keep apart the snow measured on the ground, the forecast snowfall and whether the slopes are open. This page shows the latest measurement from the Météo-France post, followed by the webcams and the forecast.

In short. This page keeps three pieces of information apart: the snow observed on the ground (measured at a Météo-France observation post, with its date), the snow forecast over seven days (the total snowfall predicted by a model) and whether the slopes are open (the ski area’s own report, to be checked at the source). The webcams show what the place looks like; they do not measure the snow.

Understanding the conditions

Snow on the ground, forecast snowfall and open slopes: three different things

Snow on the ground is a depth measured at an observation post, at its altitude and on its date. Forecast snow is a total snowfall calculated by a model: it says nothing about the snow already lying, about settling or about melting. Whether slopes and lifts are open is decided by the operator and published in its report. These three figures cannot be added together.

The Les Contamines post: a measurement at 1,780 m

The Météo-France post stands at 1,780 m, well above the reference village (1,164 m) and below Aiguille Croche (2,487 m). A depth measured at this altitude does not apply to the village, where the snow lasts less long.

Your questions

Before you go

How much snow is there in Les Contamines-Montjoie?

On 9 April 2026, the Météo-France post “LES CONTAMINES MONTJOIE” (1,780 m) measured 124 cm of snow on the ground. This observation is old: it does not describe the current snow conditions. It is a measurement at the post’s altitude, not on every slope.

Is Les Contamines part of Evasion Mont-Blanc?

Yes: the resort catalogue places Les Contamines-Montjoie in the Evasion Mont-Blanc ski area, along with Megève, Saint-Gervais and Combloux.

Is the forecast snowfall the same as the snow depth in Les Contamines-Montjoie?

No. The forecast total is snow still to fall, whereas the depth on the ground also depends on settling, melting, wind and terrain.

Where can I check whether the slopes in Les Contamines-Montjoie are open?

In the ski area’s official report, linked at the top of the page. This page does not reproduce the state of the slopes and does not infer it from the images.

Are the Les Contamines-Montjoie webcams live?

The views are images refreshed by their operators, not a continuous video stream. Check the timestamp on the image.
