How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 15cm of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 10cm of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 1mm of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 30cm of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 2065m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2017/18 with 613cm, and the leanest was 2022/23 with 228cm — a difference of 385cm between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 439cm.

March is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 90cm and 11 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Cerler?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Cerler the snowpack peaks at an average of 89cm each season. That is about average, deeper than 59% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 83cm.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 58cm through the month and topping out around 78cm in a typical year.

How many powder days does Cerler get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 15cm of new snow, Cerler averages 6 powder days a season. That is well above average, more powder days than 85% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

March has the most, 1.5 on average.

How often does Cerler get bluebird days?

Cerler averages 16 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 10cm or more of fresh snow. That is above average, more than 74% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 9.

March is the best month for it, averaging 3.2 bluebird days and 8.4 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Cerler?

At mid-mountain Cerler sees an average of 42 days a season with 1mm or more of rain rather than snow. That is above average: 62% of the 39 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.

May is the wettest month of the season, with 14.6 rain days and 94mm on average.

When is the best time to ski or board Cerler, and when does the season end?

Cerler typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 8 January through to 17 March, which works out at roughly 69 days of skiable cover in an average year. 73 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is below average compared with the 39 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in February; for the most new snow, March; for fresh snow with sunshine, March.

Comparisons use 39 resorts across 18 countries, each measured over 5 recent seasons at mid-mountain height. Glaciated locations, where the model never melts the snow out, are excluded. Figures for Cerler are taken at 2065m. Corpus last rebuilt 2 September 2026.

Thinning out
