Weather at Bellwald

The ski area runs from 1,600 to 2,558 m above sea level - a 958 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -1 °C at the base and -7 °C at the summit. Plan for that 6 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top.

Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through April. Last season brought 244 cm of snow here. The snowiest month was January: 79 cm over 6 days with snowfall. The snowpack was deepest in February, at roughly 89 cm. These are observations from a single season, not a long-term norm: a snowy year here can be twice a lean one.

Snowmaking covers 60% of the runs, so the start of the season barely depends on when natural snow arrives. The season usually runs from 12 December to 29 March.

By April the base is around 6 °C while the summit still holds 0 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
