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 “LE GRAND-BORNAND” station (1430 m, 1.6 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 1430 m. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.

☀️ Average daily sunshine : Nov 6.1 h · Dec 5.5 h · Jan 5.7 h · Feb 7 h · Mar 8.5 h · Apr 10.1 h — 26 bright days in April (Open-Meteo estimate, 2015-2025).

Why altitude matters. Le Chinaillon stretches from 1,275 m to 1,814 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
