Forecast today: Mainly fair
- Max temp: 22.4 °c
- Min temp: 8.4 °c
The slopes up to 2100m above the resort are pretty and tree-lined, offering great protection in bad weather and good terrain for those looking to develop their skills.
There is great learning zones in the valley and several long greens and blues above. Further up, above the treeline there’s a good mix of mostly blue and red terrain, but very few blacks and fairly limited steep terrain for off piste skiers. The lift system is generally good and has seen decent upgrades in recent years, plus there are further plans to expand the lift network in the coming years.
The resort itself is actually a collection of five villages in the valley, linked by lifts above and a bus service down below. Termignon is the further west, with Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard the two biggest – you will want to base yourself here for the widest variety of accommodation, quickest access to the slopes and the liveliest evenings after skiing. Prices are generally very affordable here too. Geneva is your nearest airport, with the transfer taking around 2.5 hours.

Updated 02/05
Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
