Forecast today: Generally clear
The local slopes are pretty and tree-lined, mostly rated blue and served by the recently-built Montalbert gondola. From here, a choice of two chairs gets you in to La Plagne Centre and into the heart of the main ski area, which is home to a fantastic variety of slopes. The trip across to Les Arcs takes a while (you’ll need to catch at least 5 lifts) but is well worth it if you’re an adventurous skier
The village is compact and convenient, with accommodation located in a horseshoe around the base of the main access gondola. There’s a decent selection of restaurants both here and on the slopes, plus the added attraction nearby of the La Plagne bobsleigh track just up the road. Getting here is easy – only 2.5 hours from Geneva.

After a good couple of weeks for the French Alps, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.
Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the French Alps.
A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
