Weather & Snow
Updated 05:35 PMSnow Sure Score

Fair
Adequate snow - check forecasts before booking.
Verbier's Snow Sure Score of 45/100 indicates fair conditions, primarily influenced by the current snow depth of 21cm at the base and 69cm at the summit, which are below average for optimal skiing. The recent snowfall of 38.7cm over the past week has provided some improvement, yet the lack of fresh snow in the last 24 hours and limited historic data contribute to a lower score. With an expected average of 45.1cm over the next 14 days, visitors can anticipate a gradual enhancement in conditions, but should be prepared for variable terrain, especially at lower elevations.
Depth: 12.7/30Recent: 7.2/25Forecast: 14.9/25Historic: 10/20
Today features clear skies and very cold temperatures, providing excellent visibility but requiring guests to dress warmly for outdoor activities. No new snow is expected until later in the week, so current snow conditions will remain firm. A significant change is forecast starting January 8, with multiple days of moderate to heavy snowfall and rising temperatures, which will refresh the slopes and improve skiing conditions. Staff should prepare for increased snowfall and wind from midweek onward, while guests planning visits later in the week can look forward to fresh powder but should be aware of potentially challenging weather and travel conditions.
