Forecast today: Clear skies
But don’t worry if you think the southerly location will cause issue with the snow conditions – the resort is high enough and boasts a good snowmaking network. The runs best suit intermediate skiers, but there is also a very good learner area and in good snow, there is some decent steeper terrain and off piste to be found.
Although the resort itself is not particularly pretty, the purpose-built apartment blocks and hotel are great value and very convenient – the ski slopes run right outside for maximum ski in ski out potential.
Gentle beginner pistes run directly past much of the accommodation, where several draglifts help to form a decent learning area. From here it is not great progression on to longer runs, with the rest of the terrain – comprised mostly a network of blues and reds – suitable for confident intermediates.
For more advanced skiers and boarders, there is some steeper terrain by the Merlier and Mene chairlifts, but there is a reliance here on fresh powder for those looking for more of a challenge.
For purpose built convenience there are few resorts that are better than Isola 2000. Most of the accommodation is ski in ski out and there are a lot of great value self catered apartments to choose from. Sadly however, the resort’s designers did not create architectural masterpieces and the resort is a bit of an eyesore.
There are a handful of bars and restaurants to choose from, but many of the visitors here tend to stick to self-catering, meaning it is pretty quiet in the evenings. Off the slopes, activities are fairly limited, but snowshoe hikes and cross country skiing are on offer and for those looking for something more relaxing there is a yoga and wellness centre.
Nice is the closest airport, with the drive taking around 90 minutes.
Dates for the 2023/24 season are still to be confirmed

What must be the first Nordstau event of the year hits the Alps over the course of this week, bringing a return to winter conditions across much of the Northern French Alps. The freezing line will decline through the middle of this week, dropping close to sea level overnight Thursday into Friday.
At the same time, northerly unsettled conditions working their way in across Central and Eastern Europe brings snowfall to many areas north of the Briancon-Gap line. Over higher ground this could see as much as a foot-and-a-half through Wednesday evening and into Thursday; as the freezing line declines over this period, snow will work its way down to lower elevations, but the best conditions will remain above 2,000m.
A brief pause in the snowfall over Saturday still sees cloudy conditions dominating; a few more flurries move in over higher ground on Sunday, as the freezing line recovers to around 2,000m. The long term forecast then calls for sun and fine, dry and bright conditions to dominate as high pressure returns to the area.
