Forecast today: Clear skies
but more Brits are discovering this great value region of French Alps. Most of the terrain, linked with Le Corbier, is rated blue and red, but there’s a great learning zone on the edge of the village and a number of steeper challenges, especially after fresh snow when the area’s off piste comes into its own. The lift system has improved in recent years, with a number of new lifts, but more fast chairs would be welcome โ there are still a lot of slow chairs and drags.
The resort is fairly high-rise in terms of architecture, with large apartment blocks dominating the skyline. This means there’s loads of very affordable self-catered accommodation, but it does mean that the resort is not the most picturesque. Off the slopes, there’s lots of snowshoe trails, some cross country routes and decent dining options.

Over on the French side โ note that the return must be made using slightly awkward draglifts โ there is better terrain for less confident skiers. There is also the fantastic new area up on Mont Valaisan for more advanced skiers or snowboarders. Not only are the red runs a decent challenge, but a large area of lift-served off piste has been added to the trail map.

The penultimate snow overview for this season very much heralds the end of the season across the French Alps, with only a handful of resorts still open amidst rising temperatures and dry conditions.
Sun dominates the French Alps through the middle of this week, with spring conditions as the freezing line fluctuates from 3,000m overnight to 3,500m during the midday sun – higher than even the highest slopes. Cloud cover moves in as the weekend approaches, but this only works to trap the heat, helping the freezing line climb above 4,000m briefly on Friday.
A few drops of rain are expected on Sunday, but this will fall as rain. A couple of flocons could fall across higher ground into the new week, just as the final resorts bring lift operations to a close for the season.
