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, 6.4 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. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.

☀️ Average daily sunshine : Nov 6.4 h · Dec 5.7 h · Jan 6 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. Planpraz stretches from 1,035 m to 2,502 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
