To find out how much snow there is in Valmorel, keep three things apart: the depth of snow on the ground, the snowfall forecast and whether the slopes are open. This page shows the latest measurement from the Météo-France post in Valmorel, 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 Valmorel post: a measurement at 1,333 m

The Météo-France observation post in Valmorel stands at 1,333 m, close to the village (1,350 m) but well below the Col du Mottet (2,403 m). This source does not publish the depth at the top of the ski area: for the upper slopes, check the ski area’s report.

See what the slopes look like

This page brings together 3 views: Col du Mottet (2,400 m), Sommet Biollène (2,010 m) and Valmorel village (1,350 m). The stated altitudes range from 1,350 m to 2,400 m: comparing the lowest and highest views shows whether the sky is clear everywhere or whether cloud is clinging to the slopes. They come from Skaping and Trinum. An image shows what a place looks like at one moment: it does not measure the snow and does not confirm that anything is open.

Your questions

Before you go

How much snow is there in Valmorel?

On 11 April 2026, the Météo-France post “Valmorel” (1,333 m) measured 0 cm of snow on the ground and 0 cm of fresh snow. 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.

When does Valmorel open this winter?

The operator announces the season from 18 December 2026 to 10 April 2027. An announced date is not a guarantee: the snow decides, and the day’s report is what counts.

Is the forecast snowfall the same as the snow depth in Valmorel?

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 Valmorel 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 Valmorel webcams live?

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

Sources and method

This date says nothing about how recent the images or data are: the webcams are supplied by the credited operators and their timestamp shows when the image was taken; model forecasts and official reports are separate pieces of information, each with its own time.
