Val d'Isere Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Val d'Isere snow conditions
Christmas week has arrived in Val d’Isère and the resort feels fully in winter mode. The village is busy, the mountains are properly white and there is that familiar hum that comes with the festive period. Early mornings have been cold and clear, and from the lifts you can see good coverage across the main sectors. It feels like the season has settled into a reliable rhythm just in time for Christmas.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths across Val d’Isère are currently sitting at around 55 to 60 cm in the village, with close to a metre of snow on the upper slopes around Bellevarde and Solaise. Recent snowfall earlier this week helped freshen the pistes, particularly above 2,000 metres, and grooming has left the main runs in good condition. Temperatures have remained cold overnight, often well below freezing at altitude, which has helped preserve snow quality and keep pistes firm in the mornings. Daytime temperatures are staying low enough to avoid any significant thaw. The freezing level has been hovering around 1,200 to 1,500 metres, meaning higher terrain continues to offer the best snow quality, while lower runs are holding but can feel harder later in the day.
Outlook and What’s On
The weather outlook through Christmas and into the end of the week looks mostly settled with cold conditions and only light snowfall expected at altitude. This should help maintain current piste conditions rather than dramatically change them. Festive events are well underway in Val d’Isère, with Christmas activities, village celebrations and family events running throughout the week. The resort is also in full swing following the recent World Cup racing on the Face de Bellevarde, and the atmosphere on and off the slopes reflects that peak-season energy.
Snow Takeaway
Val d’Isère is offering solid and dependable skiing for Christmas week, especially on higher terrain where snow cover is strongest and most consistent. Conditions are best early in the day and on upper slopes, while lower runs are skiable but more variable. Overall the snowpack feels stable and well suited to festive week skiing.
