We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Müsella – La Punt, in Switzerland, runs from 1,698 m at the base to 1,781 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 1 marked run and 1 lift (about 0.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 190 cm of snowfall a season, 1,240th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 218th in Switzerland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (291 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2022/23 (109 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (52 and 49 cm on average).

97% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in December. March brings 96% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Switzerland (76%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 47 cm, less than the median of 60 cm.
