One page per resort, with the source of every figure

Page reviewed and updated on .

SkiRadar gathers on a single page what you need before choosing a French ski resort or setting off: where it is, how high it goes, how many pistes, what the lift pass costs, whether there is snow today, what its webcams show, and where to book your stay and your gear.

Where the data comes from

  • Identity and location — Wikidata (name, commune, coordinates, official website, Wikimedia Commons photo).
  • Ski area — OpenStreetMap (pistes by difficulty, lifts, altitudes) and the resorts' own official sites.
  • Lift passes — each resort's official price list, read once a season; the date of that reading and the link to the price list are shown on the page.
  • Snow and opening — the reports the resorts publish themselves, refreshed daily during the season. Out of season the page says so, rather than showing a stale figure.
  • Webcams — only the official players the resort or its operator makes available for embedding. We never capture a video stream.

The public datasets we reuse

Every night the site re-reads these open datasets. They are listed so that anyone can check, and because their producers deserve the credit.

What is automated

Collection and updating run automatically, every night. When a figure is missing, the page shows “n.c.” rather than an estimate. When a figure has a date, that date is shown. The descriptive text is written from the page's own data, then read over.

How the site is funded

Some links to our accommodation, ski-hire and activity partners are affiliate links: if you book, we earn a commission, at no change to your price. It influences neither the data shown nor the order of the resorts. Full detail on the Transparency page.

Correcting a figure

A wrong number, a dead webcam, a lift pass price that has changed, a resort filed under the wrong range? Write to contact@skiradar.fr with the resort's name and the line at fault. Same address for everyone: visitor, tourist office, lift company.

What we do with your report:

  • We acknowledge it within 3 working days and deal with it within 5 working days. During the season, anything about snow depth, the open ski area or a webcam jumps the queue.
  • We go back to the source rather than to opinion: the resort's or operator's own publication, Météo-France, OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, the STRMTG lift register. A correction is applied only if a public source confirms it.
  • We correct and we date. The page shows the new value with its source and the date it was read; a figure no source confirms is removed and shown as “n.c.” rather than guessed.
  • If the source itself is wrong (an error in OpenStreetMap or Wikidata, say), we tell you: we fix it on our side and report the error upstream where we can — the only way it does not come back at the next update.
  • We write back to say what changed, or why it did not.

Resorts and tourist offices: send us your price list, your webcams, your official photo or your season dates directly. The page then cites your own page as its source, with the date it was read, and the nightly update keeps reading it: what can replace what you send us is your own publication, not some third-party source. We freeze nothing, because a frozen figure ends up being a wrong one — except your official photo, which we lock on request.
