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.

Before your ski day

When does the Pra Loup ski season start?

The tourist office site, checked on 8 November 2026, announces continuous opening of the ski area from 12 December 2026 to 4 April 2027. What is open on a given day is shown in the lift and piste status.[1][4]

Does this page cover the whole Espace Lumière ski area?

No. This page covers Pra Loup only. With Val d’Allos – La Foux it forms Espace Lumière, 180 km of pistes in all according to the operators. Val d’Allos – La Foux has its own page, with its own lifts and snow report. Le Seignus, the other ski station of Val d’Allos, has a separate piste map and is not covered.[8]

Where do the lift status and snow depth on this page come from?

Lift and piste status comes from the Espace Lumière map published through Lumiplay, which lists Pra Loup separately. Snow depth comes from the Lumiplan snow bulletin at 1,600 and 2,500 m; it has no measurement date. It is joined by the Météo-France station Pra Loup at 2,100 m, shown with its measurement date, which may be from a previous season.[4][5][6][7]

Are the 1,600, 2,050 and 2,500 m forecasts for Pra Loup observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to 1,600, 2,050 and 2,500 m, calculated at one representative point (Costebelle valley station).[2]
