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.

France gets off to a slow start over the weekend with cold temperatures and minimal snow and a freezing line sitting around the 2000m mark. High pressure dominates the weekend until Monday meaning lovely blue bird days for a great weekend of skiing. This then turns to low pressure which results in a return of snow.
As we move into the next week, there is an early flurry of snow, most notably in Chamonix and for most of the northern French Alps getting 30-40 cm’s of snow early next week. Temperatures seem to stay around the -3 degrees mark and the creeping up to -6/-7 overnight.
