Masella weather and snow forecast. Weather in Masella today and tomorrow. Explore the ski trail map · lift ticket prices. Forecast snowfall is new snow expected, not measured snow depth or an official snow report. Check the season and conditions shown with ticket prices.

Where you can continue skiing

This resort is part of Alp 2500. Pistes and lifts connect you with: La Molina.

The Alp 2500 pass covers the link between La Molina and Masella.

Before setting off, check that your pass covers the route and the connecting lifts and pistes are open. Allow time for your return.

Masella sits above Alp in the Catalan Pyrenees, with wooded slopes and higher terrain towards La Tosa.

Planning a ski trip

The Cerdanya valley provides village bases including Alp and nearby La Molina. Masella and La Molina are neighbouring ski areas; confirm the connecting lifts and the coverage of an Alp 2500 ticket before treating them as one outing. Use Masella’s own webcams and slope report for its sectors. Night skiing, when scheduled, has a separate timetable and should not be inferred from daytime opening.

For Masella the ski-area comparison is: local area: 74 km (Masella).

For a comparison in the same category, La Molina is listed with 71 km. Published measurement methods and area boundaries may differ; the number does not indicate how many pistes are open today.

Local, linked and regional totals overlap and must not be added. Run counts and terrain in acres are different measures from piste length in km.

Detailed mountain forecast

Start with the 14-day weather forecast. Open the detailed tables to compare models, then explore hourly temperature, precipitation, wind and 850 hPa in the meteogram. Ensembles show the spread of possible outcomes; satellite images show observed clouds.

Available model families combine per variable. “Today” with hours in parentheses covers the stated window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are less certain; missing data remain blank. Snowfall cm are fresh snow, not snow depth. Sea-level pressure. Terrain temperature downscaling by Open-Meteo; no Agios Stefanos calibration. A point forecast cannot describe every piste or assess avalanche danger. Open-Meteo

Weather history · Masella · 10–100 years

This summary uses the destination’s fixed coordinates and the historical service’s terrain elevation. It does not change with the forecast’s manual elevation setting. Mountain terrain, wind redistribution and snowmaking are not fully represented. Snowfall days do not indicate opening days or piste snow depth.

Explore rain and snowfall frequency, monthly average daily lows and highs, and daily temperature extremes over the selected period.

The historical summary loads automatically…

Monthly weather history · choose a period and data source
Month Mean low °C Mean high °C Precipitation mm/month Rain days/month Snowfall days/month

Choose 10, 20 or 30 years of temperature and precipitation history. The 100-year option searches for a nearby NOAA station with a sufficiently long record; the table shows the actual coverage. NASA POWER / MERRA-2 and ERA5 provide gridded historical estimates, while NOAA GHCNd contains station observations. These sources are shown separately, not combined into one time series.

A precipitation day has at least 1 mm of total precipitation. Where a source reports rain separately, the rain-day figure covers rain alone. A snowfall day has at least 0.1 cm of fresh snow where that variable is available; it does not establish snow cover on the ground. NASA POWER does not provide snowfall here. Blank values mean missing data, not zero. Averages and extremes use only the complete months or years stated in the table. These historical figures do not automatically calibrate the forecast.

Weather models and where they come from

GFS

USA · NOAA / NCEP

Global Forecast System: a numerical model that simulates atmospheric physics.

AIGFS

USA · NOAA / NCEP

Artificial Intelligence Global Forecast System: a machine-learning model initialized from NOAA atmospheric analyses.

ECMWF IFS

Europe · ECMWF

Integrated Forecasting System: the intergovernmental European centre’s numerical model. IFS 9 km and IFS 0.25° are products of the same model family on different data grids.

ECMWF AIFS

Europe · ECMWF

Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System: this page uses AIFS Single, which produces one forecast scenario.

GEM

Canada · ECCC

Global Environmental Multiscale: the atmospheric model within Canada’s GDPS. The current system combines numerical prediction with large-scale guidance from the GEML AI model.

ICON-EU

Germany · DWD

Regional numerical weather model for Europe, with a finer grid than the global ICON version.

ICON Global

Germany · DWD

Global numerical weather model from the German Weather Service. Resolution varies by data product.

UKMO Global

United Kingdom · Met Office

Global numerical forecast from the Met Office. MOGREPS-G is the provider’s separate ensemble system.

ARPEGE Europe

France · Météo-France

European output from Météo-France’s ARPEGE numerical model. Coverage and variables depend on the available product.

JMA GSM

Japan · JMA

Global Spectral Model: the Japan Meteorological Agency’s global numerical weather model.

AIGEFS

United States · NOAA / NCEP

Artificial intelligence ensemble with 31 members. It complements the single AIGFS forecast with alternative scenarios and their spread.

The blend uses the values available for each day and variable. Coverage falls as individual models reach their forecast limits. The two IFS products are not independent models. Model spread shows disagreement, not the probability of a weather event.

Wind: maximum daily speed at 10 m and prevailing direction of origin. Direction uses a speed-weighted circular calculation; missing or strongly opposing directions display a dash. 🥶: low below 0°C. 🥵: high above 30°C. 💨 in Conditions: wind at least 40 km/h or gusts at least 60 km/h.

Forecast sources and model coverage

Forecast source

The choice applies to widgets, maps and forecasts. Actual station readings stay unchanged. Automatic tries Open-Meteo first, then available direct sources if a supported request fails.

Open-Meteo

Data service providing forecasts from NOAA, ECMWF, ECCC, DWD, the Met Office, Météo-France and JMA. Available models, variables and grids depend on the location and product.

Direct model sources

XIONIA collects data directly from the model providers. Forecasts and maps are served after the source cycle has been published and collected. The selected product shows its model, resolution, available variables and run.

How models combine

Each available family contributes once per variable. Direct forecasts select the freshest available GFS grid and use equal family weights as the baseline. Local weights apply only where enabled after validation. The comparison shows actual percentages and model cycles.

Additional model forecasts are also shown for comparison and backtesting. Their presence does not automatically add weight to the combined forecast; check the displayed weights.

Coverage and missing values

A dash means unavailable data. Wind and gust may use different models. AIGFS temperature is excluded when it cannot be compared on the same elevation basis. Six-hour precipitation is water equivalent, not snow depth.

Time window

A “Today” label with hours in parentheses covers only the stated time window; subsequent days require full local coverage. Days 8–14 are a less certain outlook. Agreement between models is not a probability from a true ensemble.

Ensemble forecasts

Ensemble systems provide multiple forecast scenarios; the available systems appear in the chart selector and image catalogue. AIGFS is the single forecast; AIGEFS is the separate ensemble. Available variables and forecast horizons differ by system.

Snowfall forecast for Masella

The forecast point for Masella is at 1,607 m (Catalan Pyrenees · 42.3512°, 1.9021°).

Use the daily forecast to compare fresh snow, temperature and wind. The mountain view shows the selected day and model; XIONIA’s combined forecast is selected initially. Fresh snowfall and snow already on the ground are separate measurements. Snowfall elevation is a model value or a labelled approximate estimate when available. Days 8–14 show a less certain trend.

The forecast refers to this point; conditions on the summit and at the ski base can differ. Check the resort operator for lift and piste status.
