The webcam gives you a look at the Col des Aravis. To find out whether the road is passable, check the official road information of both départements.
In short. The Col des Aravis is at an altitude of 1,486 m (D909). The status shown at the top of the page (open, closed or partly open) is the one published by the Département de la Savoie on Savoie Route, with its update time; a webcam does not confirm that a pass is open. The page also gives the weather calculated at the pass’s altitude, views of the pass, the announced schedule and the official links.
This col (mountain pass) is not among the major Savoie passes listed in the Département’s snow-clearing press release: check the official road information source for its status. The current status at the top of the page is the one published by the Département on Savoie Route: Savoie Snow shows it as published, with its date, and does not work it out itself. If in doubt, the official source prevails.
See the Département de la Savoie’s road noticesThe forecast at the top of the page is calculated by the Open-Meteo model for the pass itself, at its altitude of 1,486 m: temperature, wind and the rain-snow line there differ markedly from the neighbouring valleys. These are model estimates, not measurements taken at the pass, and forecast snowfall does not tell you whether the road is passable.
This page brings together 3 views: Col des Aravis · 1485 m, Col des Aravis and LES RHODOS (Col des Aravis). The views come from Trinum · webcam-hd.com and Windy.com Webcams. They show the sky, visible snow and visibility at a given moment; they do not tell you whether the road is open.
The pass separates Haute-Savoie from Savoie: before you set off, look at the road information for the département you are driving in, not only the one you start from. Roadworks, events or snow can affect an access road even when the panorama looks clear.

Text of this page last revised on . 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. The forecast applies to the point and altitude shown in the weather block.
