Chamonix Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Chamonix snow conditions
Chamonix is feeling settled and wintery this week, with the Mont Blanc massif holding onto its snow well after the heavier falls earlier in the month. The upper mountain looks smooth and well filled in, while the forests lower down remain quiet, giving the valley a calm mid winter feel. The season now feels properly established, and conditions on the mountain are stable and reliable rather than changeable.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths across the Chamonix area are sitting at around 230 to 250cm on the upper mountain, with approximately 80 to 100cm at resort level depending on the ski area. There has been no significant snowfall in the past few days, but light flurries at altitude have helped keep surfaces fresh. Daytime temperatures at altitude have been ranging between -7 and -4 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level hovering close to 1400m. Snow conditions are skiing well on higher terrain, with packed powder and well groomed pistes offering good grip throughout the day. Lower runs are firmer in the mornings, especially on sunnier aspects, and soften slightly by early afternoon. Winds have been generally light to moderate, with some exposure on ridges but no major impact on lift operations.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days is mostly dry with a mix of cloud and clearer spells. Temperatures are expected to remain seasonable, which should help preserve current snow conditions, particularly on higher and north facing slopes. Any new snowfall looks light and mainly confined to upper elevations later in the week. In resort, Chamonix continues its winter programme with live music evenings, cultural events and mountain themed talks.
Snow Takeaway
Chamonix is offering dependable mid winter skiing, with the best conditions found higher up where snow depth and quality are most consistent. Early starts suit lower runs before they firm up, while spending more time on higher and north facing terrain will give the best snow over the next few days.

Enjoy the great conditions and hope to see you on the pistes!!
