Sources & method
Local reports describe observed conditions. The weather forecast is shown separately; it does not establish piste quality or snow cover.
The illustration connects the three views. It is a schematic, not a route map or a picture of current snow cover.
Forecasts at 1,768, 2,000 and 2,250 m are elevation-adjusted model estimates at the Avoriaz reference point (46.186167° N, 6.779833° E), not separate observations.

MET Norway ↗Schematic elevation profile
How we calculate this
Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.
This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Official source ↗Your mountain questions
Reading the forecast
How much snow is forecast for Avoriaz?
Snowfall is shown as water content in millimetres. Totals cover complete forecast periods. If the operator reports measured fresh-snow depth, it appears separately in the official snow report.
What is the snow depth in Avoriaz?
Measured snow depth is separate from this forecast. Check the official report for measurements when available, including their location and time.
How far ahead can I plan?
The overview covers the next 48 hours. Each forecast shows its available period.
Where does the forecast come from?
Weather forecasts come from MET Norway Locationforecast. Each altitude band links to its source and shows the provider issue time and our retrieval time. Forecasts issued more than 24 hours ago are excluded from this overview.
Interactive atlas coverage is unavailable here.
There is no local journal feed for this destination.
Get to know the mountain
Avoriaz sits above the surrounding valleys, with skiing linked into the wider cross-border area. The illustration is schematic, not a piste map or a picture of current conditions.
Before your ski day
Does the forecast cover all Portes du Soleil?
No. It samples one point at Avoriaz; weather and operations can differ across the connected area.[1]
Does one snow measurement describe every piste?
No. A station snow depth describes its observation location, not the surface or depth on every prepared piste. Check its time and freshness.[3]
Can an opening notice confirm a lift is running now?
Check the named lift or piste and the report’s update time. A planned opening or an old snapshot does not confirm current operation.[2]
