Les Contamines Montjoie

Les Contamines Montjoie, located at an altitude of 1160 m, with peaks reaching 2440 m, in the Northern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Les Contamines Montjoie: 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 Northern 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.

9-day snowfall forecast

Cumulative forecast: 1 cm at the resort base (1,160 m) and 40 cm at the summit (2,440 m) over the next 4 days (Météo-France forecast). Tomorrow and Tuesday, rain on most of the ski area; snow only above 1,900 m to 2,200 m depending on the day, right at the top. 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 Les Contamines Montjoie

• Tomorrow, 2am to noon: snow line around 1,900 m, rain at the base, snow higher up.
• Tuesday, 9am to 11pm: snow line around 2,200 m (2,000 m to 2,350 m during the spell), rain at the base, snow higher up.

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.
