Forecast today: Rain and snow
making them excellent for a snowstorm when the slopes above Flaine are likely to be socked in with cloud. Two lifts get you to the heart of the 265km of slopes in the Grand Massif at the Tete des Saix, from which point there is great skiing northwards to Morillon and Samoens, southwards to Flaine or westwards back down towards Les Carroz. The ski area tends to suit intermediates, but is also renowned as a great training ground for improving off piste skiing skills – the snowfall here is abundant and the terrain offers great progression from gentle bowls to steeper faces and tree runs.
The village itself is pretty, with lots of wood and stone buildings built in a traditional Savoyard style. It is a little spread out however, and its location on a slope means that if you’re down in the lower part of the village it is a bit of a walk up in the morning to the main gondola. Restaurants are abundant, with several lively bars to choose from too – spring here is particularly good as the southwest facing village is basked in sunshine until late in the afternoon. Les Carroz is a great weekend option, with the transfer from Geneva taking around an hour.

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.
