Weather at Ski Portillo

Weather at Ski Portillo: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.

What the weather at Ski Portillo is usually like

The ski area runs from 2,548 to 3,310 m above sea level - a 762 m vertical. In July the daytime average is 3 °C at the base and -2 °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 stay below freezing from June through August. Last season brought 199 cm of snow here. The snowiest month was June: 71 cm over 3 days with snowfall. The snowpack was deepest in July, at roughly 74 cm. These are observations from a single season, not a long-term norm: a snowy year here can be twice a lean one.

By August 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.
