Forecast today: Mainly fair
but more Brits are discovering this great value region of French Alps. Most of the terrain, linked with Le Corbier, is rated blue and red, but there’s a great learning zone on the edge of the village and a number of steeper challenges, especially after fresh snow when the area’s off piste comes into its own. The lift system has improved in recent years, with a number of new lifts, but more fast chairs would be welcome – there are still a lot of slow chairs and drags.
The resort is fairly high-rise in terms of architecture, with large apartment blocks dominating the skyline. This means there’s loads of very affordable self-catered accommodation, but it does mean that the resort is not the most picturesque. Off the slopes, there’s lots of snowshoe trails, some cross country routes and decent dining options.

Over on the French side – note that the return must be made using slightly awkward draglifts – there is better terrain for less confident skiers. There is also the fantastic new area up on Mont Valaisan for more advanced skiers or snowboarders. Not only are the red runs a decent challenge, but a large area of lift-served off piste has been added to the trail map.

Spring conditions dominate across the French Alps, with high pressure bringing fine, dry and bright conditions throughout this week. Freezing overnight temperatures give way to warmth int he midday sun, as the freezing line yo-yos from 500m to 2,000m in a typical spring freeze-thaw.
This oscillation will slowly flatten over the course of this week as cloud moves into the region, settling on a pivot around 1,000m. This will bring with it a few flurries of snow into the weekend, with a useful 5cm falling across upper slopes.
Cloud begins to give way to this spring freeze-thaw sunshine again as the new week begins.
