Forecast today: Clear skies
Les Saisies offers up snowsure terrain on either side of its valley and a link across to the expansive linked slopes โ to the resorts of Notre Dame de Bellecombe and Praz Sur Arly. Most of the local slopes are fairly gentle, making this a good resort for beginners or intermediates looking to improve their skills on snow. A few steeper on piste challenges are available, but more advanced skiers and riders will want to wait for fresh snowfall and head off piste.
The resort is very compact, with a neat centre and lots of ski-in-ski-out accommodation. Generally most lodging is good value and is family-friendly, plus there’s some decent chalets available for rent. Away from the slopes, Les Saisies is one of the best resorts in France for cross country skiing and the resort is home to 120km of perfectly groomed slopes, slopes which hosted the 1992 Albertville Olympic events.

The penultimate snow overview for this season very much heralds the end of the season across the French Alps, with only a handful of resorts still open amidst rising temperatures and dry conditions.
Sun dominates the French Alps through the middle of this week, with spring conditions as the freezing line fluctuates from 3,000m overnight to 3,500m during the midday sun – higher than even the highest slopes. Cloud cover moves in as the weekend approaches, but this only works to trap the heat, helping the freezing line climb above 4,000m briefly on Friday.
A few drops of rain are expected on Sunday, but this will fall as rain. A couple of flocons could fall across higher ground into the new week, just as the final resorts bring lift operations to a close for the season.
