Forecast today: Clear skies
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.

Strong snowfall continues into this week after last week’s incredible numbers – with the avalanche risk remaining very high as a result, with Level 4 (High) and Level 5 (Very High) dominating across the French Alps. Around 25cm of snowfall is coming down on Tuesday with flurries continuing into Wednesday, with cloud and obscured conditions in play. This will reach most elevations as the freezing line remains close to 1,000m throughout, taking a long walk off a short pier overnight as it hits sea level.
Another large snowfall is due on Thursday, continuing to bring excellent snow but maintaining this avalanche cycle – this new snow is sitting on a persistent weak layer dating from December that has been causing issues all winter, and remains a severe risk now.
Temperatures remain cold, with the freezing line holding fast at around 1,500m. This means that around 70cm of snowfall will hit upper slopes, with decent totals of 20cm reaching lower slopes, too.
Cloud clears – as does the snow – over Friday and into Saturday, meaning those of you still skiing may well experience amazing conditions now that this new loading of snow has had a chance to sinter and bind to the layers below; although with a persistent weak layer in play this will remain dangerous for some time.
Conditions take a marked turn towards spring, with sun during the day and cold temperatures overnight, creating a distinct freeze-thaw cycle.
