Notre-Dame de Bellecombe Snow Report –
1999-2007 (8 year average)
|
|
Notre Dame de Bellecombe normally benefits from an
above average snow record for its altitude range
thanks to the microclimate resulting from the
proximity of Mont Blanc. Sufficient snow cover is
expected from Christmas until mid-April. Nearby Les
Saisies (see Les Saisies
snow record) is on the same Espace Diamand ski
area and benefits from an excellent snow record. If
during early or late season conditions are not
perfect in Notre Dame de Bellecombe the resort has
traditionally put in place shuttles to Les Saisies.
Here is the snow record data for Notre Dame de
Bellecombe. The first row shows the week for which
the measurement applies eg. February 3 is the
3rd week in February. Top slopes shows the
average snow cover in cm at the top of the ski area.
Bottom Slopes shows the average snow cover in cm at
the bottom of the ski area (this is generally where
the nursery pistes are located). About 10 cm is
generally enough to ski but it very much depends on
what’s below ie. grass or more rocky surface.
