Val Thorens Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Val Thorens snow conditions
Val Thorens is looking and feeling fully mid winter after a significant spell of snowfall transformed the high altitude bowl. The surrounding peaks are heavily coated, the wide open pistes look deep and uniform, and the resort has that calm, confident feel that comes with plenty of snow underfoot. Conditions on the mountain feel magical right now, with a softness and depth that is unmistakable, while the overall setup feels settled rather than changeable.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths Snow depths are now around 240 to 270cm on the upper mountain, with approximately 160 to 180cm at resort level. The recent snowfall delivered between 70 and 100cm across the area since last Thursday, with the largest accumulations falling above 2300m and some wind redistribution on exposed ridges. This snowfall has significantly improved coverage and snow quality across the entire ski area, with excellent skiing conditions on most pistes at all elevations and soft, supportive snow underfoot. Daytime temperatures at altitude have been ranging between -11 and -7 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level close to 1000m, helping preserve the fresh snow. Winds were strong during the snowfall but have since eased, allowing lift operations to run normally. Despite the outstanding on piste conditions, the volume and intensity of recent snowfall have resulted in very high avalanche risk, particularly in off piste and uncontrolled terrain where the snowpack remains unstable.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days is mostly dry with a mix of clear spells and high cloud. Cold overnight temperatures are expected to keep snow conditions stable and well preserved across the mountain. Any further snowfall looks light and mainly confined to higher elevations later in the week. In resort, Val Thorens continues its busy winter programme with on mountain entertainment, evening events and regular après ski activities.
Snow Takeaway
Skiing in Val Thorens is currently excellent across the mountain, with deep snow, strong coverage and high quality conditions on all pistes. Skiers should remain within marked and controlled areas, follow local safety guidance closely, and avoid off piste terrain unless accompanied by a fully qualified local guide due to the current very high avalanche risk.
