Forecast today: Light rain
For beginners there is an area at the top of the Pre des Preys gondola. There are some great pistes for progression such as the Salamandre which is a long, gentle, windy run. Intermediates can access the runs most suited to them by heading high up the mountain – the runs from the TSD Crêtes chairlift, the Jaux 1 draglift and the Ourson draglift in particular are excellent. Advanced skiers, while not quite as well served as beginners and intermediates, have plenty to keep them occupied. Le Grand Couloir is a good challenge and extensive off piste can be found in the Petite Moucherolle area.
The resort has a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets. There are luxury hotels should your budget stretch far enough or there are more affordable chalets, hotels and apartments. There is also plenty to do in the resort, including a lively après scene. Grenoble airport is just an hour’s drive from the resort and Chambéry and Lyon airports are good alternatives.<

After the madness of the last few weeks – which has seen large amounts of snowfall combined with quickly rising temperatures – things are settling down over the French Alps. Sun through the early part of this week gives way to cloud and overcast conditions, which will help elevate temperatures as warmth is trapped below this cloud cover.
The freezing line will climb from around 1,500m to the mid-2000s, entering a spring-like freeze thaw pattern overnight and throughout the day. The freezing line will peak at 2,500m before, on average, dropping again into the weekend.
The long term forecast will see a flurry of snowfall into the beginning of next week, followed by fine, dry and bright conditions as high pressure moves over the region.
