5-day forecast, snow depth & avalanche bulletin
Pra Loup, located at an altitude of 1630 m, with peaks reaching 2570 m, in the Southern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Pra Loup: 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.

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: RARES ET PETITES INSTABILITÉS, LOCALISÉES À TRÈS HAUTE ALTITUDE
Déclenchements provoqués : le manteau neigeux est maigre et généralement bien stabilisé. Des instabilités temporaires sont possibles dans les secteurs d'accumulation par le vent. Elles sont présentes surtout en versants nord en Haute Ubaye au dessus de 2800 m, et plutôt à proximité des crêtes et ruptures de pentes. Elles peuvent être déclenchées par un seul pratiquant mais ne mobilisent que de faibles volumes de neige (avalanches de taille 1, petite). Ces instabilités, résiduelles le matin, se forment surtout sous l'effet du vent de secteur sud à sud-ouest qui se lève à haute altitude, avant les chutes de neige du soir.Sous 2800 m, manteau neigeux humide et stable.Départs spontanés : peu probables en journée ; en soirée et début de nuit suivante, de petits départs ponctuels sont possibles en versants nord de haute altitude, si les quantités de neige fraîche dépassent la vingtaine de cm, ce qui reste peu probable.
