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 “AIGUILLES ROUGES-NIVOSE” station (2365 m, 4.1 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 2365 m, well below the top of the ski area (2767 m), where snow lies deeper. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.

☀️ Average daily sunshine : Nov 6.4 h · Dec 5.7 h · Jan 6.1 h · Feb 7.3 h · Mar 8.6 h · Apr 10.2 h — 26 bright days in April (Open-Meteo estimate, 2015-2025).

Why altitude matters. Les Grands Montets stretches from 1,226 m to 2,767 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
