Snow Report, 4 February 2026

Imprint: By Nye Erskine, Updated 2 May 2026

Courchevel is deep into winter mode now, with the whole area feeling settled and well covered as February gets underway. The mountains look properly filled in, tree lines are white and healthy, and the resort has that steady mid season rhythm rather than anything rushed or fragile. Conditions on the slopes feel dependable, with a good base everywhere and a mix of quiet corners and busier pistes depending on where you ski.

Snow and Weather Summary

Snow depths across Courchevel remain strong, with around 230 to 260cm at altitude and roughly 120 to 140cm at resort level depending on village height. There has been little in the way of fresh snowfall over the past week, but January’s snow has compacted well and is holding up nicely. Temperatures have stayed wintery, with daytime highs of around -4 to -6 degrees Celsius on upper slopes and closer to -2 degrees in the villages, falling well below freezing overnight. The freezing level has mostly hovered around 1,000 to 1,300 metres, helping lower pistes retain cover. Winds have generally been light, occasionally moderate on exposed ridges. Skiing is very good on higher and north facing terrain where snow remains chalky and grippy, while lower and sunnier runs are firmer and best enjoyed earlier in the day.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days suggests a continuation of cold, mostly dry weather with some sunny spells and passing cloud. With no major snowfall forecast in the short term, piste conditions should remain stable and predictable. Early February is a lively time in Courchevel, with a full programme of resort activities, family events and après ski options running across the different villages, alongside a busy holiday atmosphere on the slopes.

Snow Takeaway

Courchevel is skiing well across the whole area, with the best conditions found on higher ground and shaded aspects. Plan early starts for lower runs, aim high later in the day, and expect reliable piste skiing over the next few days.
