Val Thorens Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Val Thorens snow conditions
Val Thorens feels solidly mid winter now, with the high altitude bowl looking full and calm rather than freshly dramatic. Living here, you can see how well the snow has settled in over the past couple of weeks, with wide open pistes and surrounding peaks holding their cover beautifully. The season feels properly established, and conditions on the mountain are consistent and dependable, making day to day skiing feel straightforward and enjoyable.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are sitting at around 240 to 260cm at altitude, with approximately 160 to 180cm at resort level. There has been little fresh snowfall over the past few days, although light snow flurries at times have helped keep the surface snow in good condition. Daytime temperatures at altitude have been ranging between -10 and -7 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level hovering close to 1200m. Skiing conditions remain very good across the area, with well groomed pistes and pockets of packed powder holding up particularly well on higher and north facing slopes. Lower runs closer to the village are slightly firmer early on but ski well throughout the day thanks to the cold temperatures. Winds have generally been light, with no significant impact on lift operations.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days is largely dry with a mix of cloud and clearer spells. Temperatures are expected to remain cold and seasonable, which should help preserve snow quality across the whole ski area. Any new snowfall looks light and mainly focused on higher elevations later in the week. In resort, Val Thorens continues its busy winter programme with on mountain events, evening entertainment and après ski activities adding atmosphere to this popular resort.
Snow Takeaway
Val Thorens is offering reliable mid winter skiing, with excellent snow depth and quality across the mountain. The best conditions are holding at altitude and on north facing terrain, but coverage is strong everywhere, making it a good time to explore the full area over the next few days.
