Craveggia - Piana di Vigezzo

Off season

Craveggia - Piana di Vigezzo is a ski area in Italy, on slopes between roughly 1,421 and 1,421 m. Its mapped area is about 5.1 km across, with 13 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 9.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 225 cm of snowfall a season, 913th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 41st in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (435 cm), brought more than 7 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (58 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 77 cm.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.

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.
