Weather at Saint Léger les Mélèzes

Weather at Saint Léger les Mélèzes: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway.

What the weather at Saint Léger les Mélèzes is usually like

The ski area runs from 1,260 to 2,000 m above sea level - a 740 m vertical. In January the daytime average is 4 °C at the base and -1 °C at the summit. Plan for that 5 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. Midwinter days at the base run above freezing, so the lower runs soften by midday and the morning snow lasts longer higher up.

Average daytime highs at the summit drop below freezing only in January. Last season brought 145 cm of snow here. The snowiest month was December: 37 cm over 2 days with snowfall. The snowpack was deepest in February, at roughly 45 cm. These are observations from a single season, not a long-term norm: a snowy year here can be twice a lean one.

By January the base is around 4 °C while the summit still holds -1 °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.
