Is the summit clear?
Check the Aiguille du Midi cam first: if the summit is clear at 8 am, the high areas will be spectacular.

Nine live cameras from the town square to the top of the Aiguille du Midi. One minute here before breakfast tells you more than any forecast: where the sun is, where the cloud sits, and where the snow actually fell.

How locals read them
Three looks before breakfast.
Where does it sit?
Compare Brévent, the Index and Balme: the cloud ceiling tells you which side of the valley skis in the sun.

If the summit is buried but the town cam shows falling snow, head for the trees at Les Houches and thank us later.
