Vitality score
Vitality score 44.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 96 % of the 17,723 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Bakery (Bonneval-sur-Arc): 0.5 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Bessans): 7.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]
GP (Val-d'Isère): 10.2 km to the north-west (straight line). [11]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 0 days a year at or above 30 °C and 131 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BONNEVAL-NIVOSE weather station, 2.5 km away at 2,741 m; the village itself is at 1,817 m. [12]
The village sits 924 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BONNEVAL-NIVOSE, 2.5 km away at 2,741 m, over 15 summers. [12]
That station sits 924 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 839 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BESSANS-CLIM, 6.9 km away at 1,731 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 350,000 € — 6,995 € per m² of built surface. [13]
18 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 255,745 € — 5,330 € per m². [13]
The median across Savoie is 2,827 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [13]
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.

…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 Bonneval-sur-Arc'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.
