Height, slopes and snow line

At Chabanon, the freezing level reaches 2,330 m to 2,480 m on 5 November, above the top of the resort (2,028 m): rain or wet snow is possible on every slope that day.

At Dévoluy, the freezing level reaches 2,230 m to 2,470 m on 5 November, so the lower slopes may get wet snow while the top stays wintry.

At Chaillol, the freezing level reaches 2,250 m to 2,520 m on 5 November, above the top of the resort (1,929 m): rain or wet snow is possible on every slope that day.

Tips for skiers

  • Forecasts a few days ahead can change: look at the map again the day before you travel.
  • Where the freezing level goes above the resort, plan for wet snow and use the highest lifts.
  • Fresh snow is best in the first hours after it stops: go early, before the sun and the crowds.
  • Before you ski off-piste or go touring, read the official avalanche bulletin (links below).
  • Get a powder alert in the SnowScope app to know when Chabanon gets fresh snow.

About these numbers

Resort snow depths are the deepest snow on the resort's upper slopes from the SnowScope snow model (about 1 km, run of 3 November); they are estimates for an area, not a measurement at one point. Station values are measurements on the date shown. Forecasts can change. Always read the official avalanche bulletin before going off-piste.
