Forecast today: Snow
From there, half a dozen drags and slow chairs reaching 3000m serve good but very limited intermediate pistes. The pisted terrain can be explored in a day or two but it is the off piste which really makes Bonneval. It is plentiful and varied and is enough to keep skiers and boarders occupied for days. The off piste terrain can be found on two flanks of the Pointe d’Andange, including runs of 1150m vertical to the valley bottom. The altitude and many north-facing slopes ensure that the snow stays in good condition long after the snow conditions in most resorts have deteriorated.
Another significant feather in the cap of Bonneval is that it is quiet and you are therefore able to ski freely on the slopes or off piste. Should you fancy exploring a bigger or busier area then there’s plenty more skiing further down the valley. There are seven villages altogether at the base of the Maurienne, providing access to more than 125km of skiable terrain, including Val Cenis which has 56 runs to explore. All the villages are accessible by a free shuttle bus.

An incredibly snowy – stupidly snowy – absurdly snowy – – week begins for the French Alps, as a series of low pressure areas sweep in from Scandinavia, over the North Sea and British Isles, before hitting the continent and the Alps hard. Snow is already falling on Tuesday where around 20cm is expected down across higher ground. Overnight this picks up, and significant snowfall will fall on Wednesday with around 2ft expected down – the freezing line is hovering around 1,500m, meaning most of this will hit lower slopes but overnight snowfall will reach all slopes.
On Thursday things will begin to turn stupid: a metre (100cm) of snowfall is expected down over the French Alps, hitting most slopes as the freezing line drops to around 1,000m. Higher winds can be expected on this day as well.
The avalanche risk will increase dramatically over the course of the coming days, thanks to this new snowfall and sitting on a persistent weak layer. In places, this is already forecasted to hit Level 5 on the European scale, the highest available, indicating extraordinarily high risk of extreme slides. You should not be travelling away from protected pistes of infrastructure during this time, and expect large areas of the resort to be closed as avalanche mitigation takes place.
Snowfall continues into Friday, with the tailend of this storm bringing another foot across Friday and Saturday. The weather is suggesting it might clear on Sunday, with fine, dry and bright conditions forecasting, meaning Sunday should be the day to chase powder, although you should continue to check and plan your off piste travel carefully.
