Ratery, located at an altitude of 1700 m, with peaks reaching 1790 m, in the Southern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Ratery: 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.

Forecasts from Météo-France (AROME/ARPEGE models) for the first 4 days, calibrated to the exact resort altitude. The 0°C isotherm is given as a range (min/max over the day) to honestly reflect its variation throughout the day.

Longer-range outlook (ECMWF European model): indicative only, less reliable at this range, and not included in the snowfall total.

Data: Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0), Météo-France AROME/ARPEGE models and ECMWF European model.

Snow line over the coming days in Ratery

  • Wednesday, 5pm to 7pm: snow line around 1,700 m, snow down to the resort base.

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 : déficitaire pour une mi-novembreLimites de l'enneigement skiable : la pratique du ski est généralement impossible dans le massif. Dimanche matin, si la couche de neige fraîche attendue est au rendez-vous, elle peut permettre de chausser temporairement les skis vers 1800/2000 m, mais uniquement sur pentes herbeuses très favorables.État de la neige de surface : dimanche matin, on trouve une couche de neige fraîche de 10 à 30 cm selon l'altitude. Elle se dépose sur un manteau neigeux déjà constitué dans les ubacs au-dessus de 2600/2700 m. Ailleurs, elle tombe sur un manteau neigeux discontinu ou directement sur le sol.
2/5
Risk level

Au-dessus de 2500m indice de risque limité, plus bas indice faible.

Stability: PETITES INSTABILITÉS EN FORMATION EN ALTITUDE

Déclenchements provoqués : dans les ubacs au-dessus de 2500/2700 m, de petites plaques plutôt faciles à déclencher se forment dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Elles se situent essentiellement dans les accumulations près des hautes crêtes et sommets. Avalanches petites (taille 1). En journée de dimanche, le vent d'ouest/sud-ouest modéré près des sommets entretient ces petites instabilités.À plus basse altitude, le risque d'avalanche reste faible ou inexistant, la neige se déposant sur un sol nu ou seulement partiellement enneigé.Départs spontanés : quelques petits départs de neige fraîche superficiels pendant les chutes, uniquement dans les ubacs raides préalablement enneigés.
