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 Chamrousse, the 1,650, 1,950, 2,250 m values are elevation-adjusted model forecasts at the forecast point Recoin valley station, not observations or separate weather stations.

Schematic elevation profile

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.

How this comparison works+

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 Chamrousse ?

For Chamrousse, the Open-Meteo · MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2 forecast issued 9 Nov, 04:00 shows modelled snowfall of 0 mm at 1,650 m, 0 mm at 1,950 m and 0 mm at 2,250 m in the 24 hours from 9 Nov, 13:00. Amounts are millimetres of water in the snow, not snow depth. Times are local (Europe/Paris). Forecast source ↗

How deep is the snow in Chamrousse ?

PisteWindow has no current snow-depth report for Chamrousse. Forecast figures are modelled snowfall, not snow depth. Official resort information ↗

Which lifts are open in Chamrousse ?

PisteWindow has no current lift or piste report for Chamrousse. 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.

Where do the conditions on this page come from?

Snow depth comes from the Météo-France daily stations Chamrousse (1 730 m), Niverolles (2 022 m). There is no live lift status on this page.[5]

Are the 1,650, 1,950, 2,250 m forecasts for Chamrousse observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to these elevations and calculated at one representative point (Recoin valley station).[2]
