Multi-day wet windowWettest: SunLeast wet: Wed
Sat–Sun is the longest supported wet window, around 27.9 mm combined. Sun is the wettest visible day at around 18.9 mm. Wed is relatively least wet at around 0 mm, but not fully dry. Daytime temperatures trend warmer later in the outlook. Sat–Sun forms a 2-day wet sequence with about 27.9 mm combined. The visible horizon totals about 31.2 mm, so runoff, saturation and progressively slippery ground become more likely. Thu–Sat is the clearest sustained dry-weather planning window.
Temperature trend with mountain reference values where available.
Temperature timing affects comfort, freeze level and whether precipitation is experienced as rain or snow at altitude.
Snow signal and freezing-level trend for slope-level planning.
Freezing-level shifts help interpret snow relevance, melt risk and whether upper terrain differs from lower slopes.

InspectEfficient short-break base
Portes du Soleil is best understood as a efficient short-break base: access time and lift/terrain efficiency support getting substantial ski time from a shorter trip.
Short trips where access and lift/terrain efficiency matter more than sheer domain size.
Efficiency is the structural advantage; longer stays may favour a broader domain.
