The vital importance of the weather for your stay in the Chamonix valley
Check the weather in Chamonix before each outing is essential to ensure your safety and the success of your mountain activities. Because of the high altitude and proximity of the Mont Blancmassif, weather conditions can change dramatically: bright sunshine can give way to violent thunderstorms or freezing fog in just a few minutes. Anticipating the forecast not only helps you choose the right equipment (technical clothing, sun protection or crampons), but also enables you to assess specific risks such as avalanchesor hidden crevasses. Whether you're a skier, mountaineer or hiker, a careful reading of this bulletin is a must. Météo France or the La Chamoniarde weather report will ensure that you adapt your itinerary to actual conditions, and avoid putting yourself at risk in an environment where nature remains sovereign.
