Météo-France snow observation network (poste nivo « Gourette » (1590 m, à 0.9 km)) — total snow depth recorded by the resort observers, open archive. During the season the daily report prevails. The percentage is the share of readings with at least 30 cm on the ground; “—”: month without readings.

Measured snow history: not available for this resort. No Météo-France station close enough (the 1 nearby station sits more than 300 m away from the altitude we aim for (1710 m)). We would rather show nothing than borrow a distant valley’s reading.

Why altitude matters. Gourette stretches from 1,351 m to 2,429 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
