Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 83 % of the 15,202 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

An average of 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 146 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the TALLARD weather station, 7.2 km away at 593 m; the village itself is at 943 m. ^[10]

The village sits 350 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at TALLARD, 7.2 km away at 593 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 350 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 757 mm of rain a year, spread over 79 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at TALLARD, 7.2 km away at 593 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

35 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 375,000 € — 2,820 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Hautes-Alpes is 2,500 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[11]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
