5-day forecast, snow depth & avalanche bulletin
Gap Bayard, located at an altitude of 1250 m, with peaks reaching 1340 m, in the Southern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Gap Bayard: four days in detail from Météo-France (minimum and maximum temperatures, expected snowfall, 0°C isotherm), then an outlook through day 9, along with the ski area snow depth. The Southern French Alps avalanche bulletin is also available below. Forecasts are calibrated to the resort's actual altitude; the first four days come from Météo-France models (AROME/ARPEGE), the outlook from a longer-range, less precise model.

Hourly temperature & 0°C isotherm
9-day snowfall forecast
Cumulative forecast: 0 cm at the resort base (1,250 m) and 0 cm at the summit (1,340 m) over the next 4 days (Météo-France forecast). For the following days, the outlook is given as a range and is not included in this total.
Snow line over the coming days in Gap Bayard
No snow forecast on the ski area over the next 4 days: the chart shows the snow line altitude during precipitation.
Snow line: the altitude above which precipitation falls as snow. It is computed hour by hour, during precipitation, from Météo-France temperature and humidity at altitude: it is the altitude where the wet-bulb temperature rises above 1.3°C (the same definition as the German weather service's snowfall line). Météo-France days only, not the longer-range outlook.

Stability: MANTEAU NEIGEUX PARFOIS INSTABLE À HAUTE ALTITUDE
Déclenchements provoqués : quelques plaques sont en place au-dessus de 2800/3000 dans la plupart des orientations, encore déclenchables par un skieur isolé. Avalanches généralement de taille petite à moyenne, elles peuvent être un peu plus volumineuse en versant nord de très haute altitude, où la sous-couche de fin octobre a probablement évolué en grains anguleux, et fait office de couche fragile persistante. À plus basse altitude, le manteau neigeux est souvent peu épais et bien humidifié. Départs spontanés : peu probables.
