Vitality score
Vitality score 10.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 4 % of the 17,952 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 84 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CERNON weather station, 5.3 km away at 500 m; the village itself is at 466 m. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST JULIEN - SA, 12.3 km away at 361 m, over 29 summers. [10]
That station sits 105 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 1,446 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 10.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ARINTHOD, 4.1 km away at 445 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Valzin en Petite Montagne's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
