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 4,354ft, 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 175in, and the leanest was 2016/17 with 51in — a difference of 124in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 91in.

December is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 23in and 6 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Tarvisio?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Tarvisio the snowpack peaks at an average of 28in each season. That is below average, deeper than 33% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 18in through the month and topping out around 24in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Tarvisio get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Tarvisio averages 5 powder days a season. That is well above average, more powder days than 80% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

December has the most, 1.1 on average.

How often does Tarvisio get bluebird days?

Tarvisio averages 10 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is about average, more than 55% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

February is the best month for it, averaging 2.0 bluebird days and 6.6 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Tarvisio?

At mid-mountain Tarvisio sees an average of 56 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well above average: 83% 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 19.4 rain days and 6.5in on average.

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

Tarvisio typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around January 29 through to March 4, which works out at roughly 35 days of skiable cover in an average year. 57 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is below average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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