Forecast today: Overcast
- Max temp: 6.4 °c
- Min temp: 0.9 °c
- Last snowed: Sat 21 Feb
Two gondolas from the edge of town or a pair of chairlifts from the satellite village further up at Chinaillon
access a varied, north facing range of slopes. Their aspect helps them hold their snow, but the low altitude and exposure to warm weather fronts on the edge of the Alps can cause snow reliability issues lower down. When the snow is good however, there’s good green runs for beginners, but the main attraction are the long steep reds and blacks off Mont Lachet and La Floria. The lift system is decent, with most of the main runs accessed via fast chairs, but a few slow old chairs and drags remain.
The village is traditional and similar to its near neighbour La Clusaz, with plenty of old wooden buildings and French alpine charm. An alternative base lies at Chinaillon, which has direct access to the slopes and is a little more snowsure, owing to its altitude of 1300m. Off the slopes, cross country and biathlon are big business here and there are some excellent trails in and around the resort as a result. Travel from Geneva takes around an hour on a good run, making this a great weekend destination.

Updated 10/03
Warm conditions continue to dominate across the French Alps over the course of this week, as the freezing line remains up around 2,000m. Cloud will bring with it a few flurries of snowfall over upper elevations above this limit, with a crescendo of around 5cm falling on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Unsettled weather than moved in as the weekend begins, causing the freezing line to drop and good snowfall to come to many slopes on Saturday afternoon. The freezing point will drop to below 1,000m overnight Saturday night and Sunday night, before rising to around 2,000m in the midday sun (such as it is with a layer of cloud in play). Around 20cm of snowfall will land over Friday evening and most of Saturday and, thanks to the downward trend of temperatures, will reach most slopes.
Looking ahead, the freezing line remains low overnight as we return to more of a spring-like freeze-thaw cycle. A dash of sunshine can be expected early next week before more snowy conditions move in.
