Val d'Isere Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Val d'Isere snow conditions
Val D'Isere is looking every bit the classic Alpine village this week, with the old stone and timber buildings framed by a deep white backdrop and cold, clear air sharpening the peaks above Bellevarde and Solaise. The resort is busy with the school holidays in full swing, yet once you are out on the mountain there is still plenty of room across the vast linked area with Tignes. The season continues to build well, and the snow cover across all levels feels reassuringly solid for mid February.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths sit at around 140 cm in the village at 1850 metres, with between 230 and 270 cm on the upper slopes above 3000 metres, particularly around Pisaillas and the Fornet sector. Around 10 to 20 cm of fresh snow fell earlier in the week, with slightly higher accumulations on the northern and eastern aspects.
Temperatures have remained properly wintry, ranging from minus 10 to minus 5 degrees at 3000 metres and minus 7 to minus 1 degree in resort. The freezing level has generally stayed between 1200 and 1600 metres, dipping lower overnight. Winds have been light to moderate, with occasional stronger gusts on exposed ridgelines, but overall lift operations have been steady.
On the pistes the snow is skiing very well. Higher terrain is offering cold, grippy surfaces that hold up throughout the day, particularly on the north facing runs above Le Fornet and on the Pisaillas glacier. Mid mountain slopes are firm first thing before softening slightly in the afternoon where exposed to the sun. Lower runs back into the village remain in good condition thanks to the strong base and consistent grooming, with no real weak spots at this stage.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook suggests continued cool temperatures with the possibility of further light snowfall towards the end of the week. Any additional snow will freshen up the upper sectors and maintain quality off piste conditions where stability allows. With freezing levels staying sensible for the time of year, the overall snowpack should remain in good shape across all elevations.
Half term brings a lively atmosphere to the village, with regular evening events including torchlit descents organised by the ski schools and live music in the centre. The ice driving circuit on the La Daille road continues to attract spectators, and there are guided snowshoe outings and heritage walks around the old village for those looking to explore beyond the pistes.
Weather outlook as of: 16 February 2026. As I am sure you are aware, accurately forecasting weather more than two or three days ahead in the mountains is notoriously tricky. If there is a significant change we will update this section before the next full weekly snow report.
Snow Takeaway
Val d Isere is in very good shape for mid February, with the best and most consistent snow found above 2200 metres and particularly in the Fornet and Pisaillas sectors. Early starts will reward you with firm, confidence inspiring pistes, and the strong base ensures reliable returns to resort at the end of the day. Conditions remain stable and wintry, making it a very solid week to be on the hill.
