How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 6in of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 4in of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 0.04in of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 12in of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 9,072ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

November is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 36in and 12 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Cervinia?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Cervinia the snowpack peaks at an average of 332in each season.

The base is deepest in January, averaging 215in through the month and topping out around 317in in a typical year.

November has the most, 1.6 on average.

How often does Cervinia get bluebird days?

Cervinia averages 21 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is well above average, more than 88% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

March is the best month for it, averaging 4.0 bluebird days and 8.6 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Cervinia?

At mid-mountain Cervinia sees an average of 2 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well below average: 0% of the 40 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 1.0 rain days and 0.2in on average.

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

Cervinia typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around November 4 through to June 15, which works out at roughly 225 days of skiable cover in an average year. 206 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is among the very best we track compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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