Weather & Snow
Updated 05:35 PMAdequate snow - check forecasts before booking.
Tignes' Snow Sure Score of 53/100 indicates fair skiing conditions, primarily due to a solid base elevation of 2100m and a current snow depth of 89cm at the base. However, the lack of fresh snow in the last 24 hours and a modest season total of 103.9cm limit overall conditions, despite a reasonable forecast of 33.1cm over the next 14 days. Visitors can expect decent skiing, particularly on the lower slopes, but should be prepared for variable conditions as the season progresses.
Today features clear skies and cold temperatures, providing excellent visibility but brisk conditions on the slopes. No new snow is expected through midweek, so snow surfaces may be firm and packed. Significant changes arrive from Thursday, with moderate to heavy snowfall and strong winds forecast from January 8 through January 11, likely leading to rapidly improving powder conditions but also reduced visibility and challenging weather for outdoor activities. Guests and staff should prepare for deteriorating weather and potential operational impacts later in the week, especially during periods of heavy snow and high winds.
Over the past five years, average seasonal snowfall has exceeded the 30-year average by approximately 7%, indicating a modest upward trend in recent snowfall. However, significant year-to-year variability is evident, with the 2023 season experiencing an anomalously high snowfall of 380.4 cm, nearly double the 5-year average, while 2020 saw a pronounced low of 108.5 cm. The current season's snowfall is substantially below both the 5-year and 30-year averages, at just 46% and 49% of those benchmarks, respectively, marking a notable shortfall compared to recent history. This pattern highlights both increased variability and the potential for significant deviations from long-term norms.
