Forecast today: Snow
From there, half a dozen drags and slow chairs reaching 3000m serve good but very limited intermediate pistes. The pisted terrain can be explored in a day or two but it is the off piste which really makes Bonneval. It is plentiful and varied and is enough to keep skiers and boarders occupied for days. The off piste terrain can be found on two flanks of the Pointe d’Andange, including runs of 1150m vertical to the valley bottom. The altitude and many north-facing slopes ensure that the snow stays in good condition long after the snow conditions in most resorts have deteriorated.
Another significant feather in the cap of Bonneval is that it is quiet and you are therefore able to ski freely on the slopes or off piste. Should you fancy exploring a bigger or busier area then there’s plenty more skiing further down the valley. There are seven villages altogether at the base of the Maurienne, providing access to more than 125km of skiable terrain, including Val Cenis which has 56 runs to explore. All the villages are accessible by a free shuttle bus.

Warm conditions continue to dominate across the French Alps over the course of this week, as the freezing line remains up around 2,000m. Cloud will bring with it a few flurries of snowfall over upper elevations above this limit, with a crescendo of around 5cm falling on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Unsettled weather than moved in as the weekend begins, causing the freezing line to drop and good snowfall to come to many slopes on Saturday afternoon. The freezing point will drop to below 1,000m overnight Saturday night and Sunday night, before rising to around 2,000m in the midday sun (such as it is with a layer of cloud in play). Around 20cm of snowfall will land over Friday evening and most of Saturday and, thanks to the downward trend of temperatures, will reach most slopes.
Looking ahead, the freezing line remains low overnight as we return to more of a spring-like freeze-thaw cycle. A dash of sunshine can be expected early next week before more snowy conditions move in.
