Sources & method
Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.
The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.
For Auron, the 1,600, 2,000 and 2,400 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at the forecast point, the Las Donnas gondola valley station, not observations or separate weather stations.

How we calculate this
Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.
This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Snow and lift questions
How much snow is forecast for Auron ?
For Auron, the Open-Meteo · MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2 forecast issued 9 Nov, 04:00 shows modelled snowfall of 0 mm at 1,600 m, 0 mm at 2,000 m and 0 mm at 2,400 m in the 24 hours from 9 Nov, 09:00. Amounts are millimetres of water in the snow, not snow depth. Times are local (Europe/Paris). Forecast source ↗
How deep is the snow in Auron ?
PisteWindow has no current snow-depth report for Auron. Forecast figures are modelled snowfall, not snow depth. Official resort information ↗
Which lifts are open in Auron ?
PisteWindow has no current lift or piste report for Auron. Open lifts and pistes are not inferred from the forecast. Official resort information ↗
How does snowfall differ from snow depth?
Snowfall is the new snow that falls in a period. Snow depth is the total on the ground and also reflects earlier snow, melt and settling. PisteWindow’s forecast shows modelled snowfall as water in millimetres, not depth.
Interactive atlas coverage is unavailable here.
There is no local journal feed for this destination.
Get to know the mountain
The ski area spreads over four sectors: Las Donnas, Sauma Longue, Demandols and Lieuson. The Las Donnas cable car links the village to the slopes, and the Pinatelle gondola connects Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée to the ski area. Schematic illustration, not a map or current conditions.
Before your ski day
When does the Auron season start?
The operator’s homepage, checked on 8 November 2026, announces the opening of the ski area on 5 December 2026. The official bulletin page shows what is open on a given day.[6][4]
Where do the lift and piste status on this page come from?
The operator’s bulletin des pistes page embeds a document viewer with a PDF bulletin, not a data feed with lift-by-lift status and times. PisteWindow therefore shows lift and piste status as unavailable and links to the official bulletin.[4]
Where does the snow depth come from?
From the Météo-France station Auron Nivo at 1,910 m in the ski terrain. It reports one ground snow depth per day, only validated values are used, and the page shows the date of the latest measurement so an old value cannot pass for a current one.[5]
Are the forecasts for 1,600, 2,000 and 2,400 m in Auron observations?
No. They are model values adjusted to 1,600, 2,000 and 2,400 m and calculated at one representative point, the Las Donnas gondola valley station.[2]
