The webcam gives a glimpse of the Col de Joux Plane. To know whether the road is passable, check the official road sources of Haute-Savoie.

In short. The Col de Joux Plane links Samoëns and Morzine on the D354, in Haute-Savoie. The highest point of the road is at about 1,690 m (sources give between 1,690 and 1,712 m depending on whether they measure the road or the geographic pass). The page shows the webcam of the pass and a model forecast at 1,690 m; a webcam does not confirm that the road is open.

Understanding the conditions

Is the Col de Joux Plane open?

AlpeSnow does not publish an opening status for this pass: no road source that can be read automatically is connected to this page. The Département de la Haute-Savoie publishes the state of its roads, with its date. The pass is a mountain road: snow can appear early in autumn and late in spring, and a clear image does not say whether the road is passable.

Haute-Savoie: road conditions (in French)

Two sides, two resorts

The pass separates the Grand Massif and its villages (Samoëns, 720 m) from the Morzine side (1,000 m), in the Portes du Soleil. The pass webcam is published by Skaping, on its Samoëns page.

Weather at 1,690 m

The forecast at the top of the page is calculated by the Open-Meteo model for the point of the pass, at 1,690 m: temperature, wind and snow line there differ markedly from Samoëns or Morzine. These are model estimates, not measurements taken at the pass.

One altitude, three figures

Wikipedia gives 1,712 m for the geographic pass and 1,690 m for the highest point of the road, about 350 m further south; a specialist site gives 1,691 m. When two sources differ, the page gives both: the forecast is calculated at 1,690 m.

Your questions

Before you go

What is the altitude of the Col de Joux Plane?

About 1,690 m for the road (1,691 m according to another site), and 1,712 m for the geographic pass according to Wikipedia.

Is the Col de Joux Plane open in winter?

This page has no opening status or official calendar to give you: check the road conditions of the Département de la Haute-Savoie before you set off. A webcam does not confirm that the road is open.

What is the temperature at the Col de Joux Plane?

The forecast at the top of the page is an Open-Meteo model estimate at 1,690 m. It is not an on-site measurement; the temperature in the neighbouring valleys is generally much higher.

Are the the Col de Joux Plane webcams live?

No: they are images refreshed regularly by their operator, not a continuous video stream. The capture time is shown on the image or at the source; a view with no image for more than 24 hours is not shown here.

Sources and method

Text of this page last revised on . This date says nothing about how recent the images or data are: the webcams are supplied by the credited operators and their timestamp shows when the image was taken; model forecasts and official reports are separate pieces of information, each with its own time. The forecast applies to the point and altitude shown in the weather block.
