One bar per day we recorded: snow depth at the top of the area, or at the village when the top is not published. Readings come from the resort’s own report or, failing that, from the nearest Météo-France snow station — each one stamped with its source and its time. Days with no reading leave no bar: we do not fill a gap.

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 “LAC D'ARDIDEN-NIVOSE” station (2445 m, 18.5 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 2445 m. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.

☀️ Average daily sunshine : Nov 6.3 h · Dec 5.8 h · Jan 5.9 h · Feb 7.4 h · Mar 8.1 h · Apr 9.1 h — 23 bright days in April (Open-Meteo estimate, 2015-2025).

Why altitude matters. Domaine du Tourmalet stretches from 1,800 m to 2,500 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
