Northern Alps snow depth: measured snow by station

A table to compare, post by post, the snow depth measured on the ground, the fresh snow observed and the snow forecast over seven days in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. The same sources feed the resorts’ snow pages.

In short. The table keeps measured snow (Météo-France observation posts, one reading a day, with its date) apart from forecast snow (model, 7-day total). Out of season, the most recent observations may be several months old: their date is shown, and a missing measurement is never turned into “0 cm” or “closed”.

Understanding the conditions

How to read the table

Each row is an observation post: the snow depth on the ground and the fresh snow are measured at the altitude of the post, not at the top of the slopes. The “forecast snow” column is a calculation for the resort, at the altitude of its highest point. A post with no recent observation is flagged as such.

Observed snow or forecast snow: which should you trust?

Neither replaces a ski area’s report when deciding whether to go. The measurement tells you what has fallen and stayed; the forecast tells you what is expected. When they differ, the dated measurement takes precedence over the forecast for describing current conditions.

Your questions

Before you go

Where do the snow depths on this page come from?

From the posts of the Météo-France snow and weather observation network (Licence Ouverte 2.0, the French open licence), which publishes one manual reading a day in season. Each value is dated and given at the altitude of its post.

Why do some posts have no recent measurement?

The posts only record snow in season. Outside it, the last observation is several months old: the page shows it with its date instead of displaying zero.

Does this page show which slopes are open?

No. Each ski area publishes whether its slopes and lifts are open; check its official report.

Where can I find the avalanche bulletin for the Northern Alps?

On the Météo-France website, in the mountain section: select the massif and check the date of the bulletin.
