Frequently asked questions
How often is this page updated?
Each location is refreshed every three hours. The 7-day forecast, luck factor and packing notes are computed from the same stored update.
What is the luck factor?
A score comparing how good piste is likely to be this week at Zermatt with the version-matched historical observations available for this time of year.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo, a free open weather API that blends multiple national weather services plus an archive going back decades. The same data powers many outdoor apps.
Does a high score mean the piste is good right now?
It means the weather data suggests good conditions. Local factors like lift closures, off-piste avalanche risk and grooming still matter. Check resort webcams and the local piste report before committing.
