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.

Runal Péra Trun, in Switzerland, runs from 921 m at the base to 1,041 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 11 marked runs and 1 lift (about 3.8 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 311 cm of snowfall a season, 441st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 75th in Switzerland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (455 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (225 cm). March still brings 75 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
