Puy Saint-Vincent, located at an altitude of 1400 m, with peaks reaching 2660 m, in the Southern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Puy Saint-Vincent: 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.

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.

Snow quality

Qualification de l'enneigement : suite aux récentes chutes de neige, l'enneigement devient correct au delà de 2500 m pour une mi-novembre. On relève entre 25 et 60 cm sur la tranche 2500/3000 m en nord. La Nivôse des Écrins (2970 m) indique une hauteur de neige de 55 cm. Limite d'enneigement skiable : à partir de 2500 m sur certains alpages en ubacs, mais il n'y a pas de sous-couche sauf au-dessus de 2800/3000 m plein nord. Les cailloux restent peu enfouis, les glaciers très crevassés.État de la neige de surface : neige souvent humidifiée par la pluie jusqu'à 2800 m. A plus haute altitude, on retrouve une couche de 30 à 50 cm de neige fraîche, durcie par le vent dans les secteurs exposés, mais froide et légère dans les endroits bien abrités.
2/5
Risk level

Au-dessus de 2800m indice de risque limité, plus bas indice faible.

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 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.
