Snowfall: no long enough record of fresh snow at this station. Rather than an estimate, we show nothing.

Total snow depth on the ground measured at 06:00 at the Météo-France “GRANDE PAREI-NIVOSE” station (2260 m, 12.6 km away), from the open “Daily climatological data” dataset (Open Licence 2.0). The season is counted from 1 December to 15 April; only winters with at least 95 % of those 136 days measured are kept, so no figure here rests on a handful of readings. The reading is taken at 2260 m. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.
Why altitude matters. Belle Plagne stretches from 1,523 m to 2,587 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
