Planning a ski trip
Rialp and Sort offer a valley base for the winding climb to the ski area. Keep time for the final mountain road and check its condition after snowfall. The resort’s webcams and operating report help distinguish snow on the surrounding ridges from prepared pistes. The wider valley adds village visits to a ski trip; nearby destinations on a map can still require a substantial drive.
Images and streams load when you choose “View here”. Check the provider’s timestamp: images may be old or offline. A nearby ski webcam does not necessarily show the road or pass.
Separate piste-top, base and village elevations have not yet been documented.
The nearest settlement is not automatically treated as the ski village or base.
Vertical difference is a height difference, not piste length or confirmation that a route is open.

For Port Ainé the ski-area comparison is: local area: 26.7 km (Port Ainé).
For a comparison in the same category, Boí Taüll is listed with 45 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.
Skiing, snowboarding & trail difficulty
Port Ainé’s snowpark lies at 2,000 m and is described for skiers and snowboarders of different levels, with progressive jumps, rails and boxes. The total and colours come from the operator’s technical inventory.
Park operation and layouts depend on the season and conditions.

Piste map · Port Ainé
Mapped ski pistes and lifts around Port Ainé. Explore the mapped routes and compare them with the operator’s official map.
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.

Weather ensembles · Weather in Port Ainé
850 hPa temperature, 2 m temperature and precipitation ensembles for Weather in Port Ainé. Choose Open-Meteo or Direct. Auto tries Open-Meteo first, then Direct when unavailable. Direct retains the native time steps of each model; the displayed source and interval apply. Individual member availability varies by model and variable.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Port Ainé
The forecast point for Port Ainé is at 2,099 m (Catalan Pyrenees · 42.4000°, 1.2000°).
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.
