This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for Villard-Reculas: 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.

Cumulative forecast: 0 cm at the resort base (1,450 m) and 7 cm at the summit (3,330 m) over the next 4 days (Météo-France forecast). Monday and Tuesday, rain on the lower slopes up to 1,500 m to 1,900 m depending on the day, with snow above. For the following days, the outlook is given as a range and is not included in this total.

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.
