The basin's forecasts

In the mountains the weather changes with altitude: here the forecast is computed for the real elevation of each point, not for the valley floor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about weather and snow

How much snow is there in Oltre il Colle?

On this page you find the centimetres of snow expected over the next five days for the main village, the Colle di Zambla and the elevation of Capanna 2000. They are forecasts from the Open-Meteo model, updated hourly: for the real snow cover on the cross-country tracks it is always best to ask the people who groom them.

What is the temperature difference between the village and Capanna 2000?

Almost a thousand metres of elevation separate the main village, at 1,030 metres, from the Capanna 2000 hut, at 1,960: in the mountains the temperature drops on average by about 6 degrees every thousand metres, so it is several degrees colder up high than in the village. The forecasts above are computed for each elevation.

When is the snow season in Zambla?

Snow usually arrives between December and March and lasts longer on shaded slopes and above 1,300 metres, that is from the Colle di Zambla upwards. Conditions vary a lot from year to year: check the forecast before setting off with snowshoes or cross-country skis.

Where do these forecasts come from?

From the Open-Meteo weather model, queried for the coordinates and elevation of each point. They are not readings from a ground station: they are forecasts, and like all forecasts they should be taken as an indication.
