Forecast today: Light rain shwr
making them excellent for a snowstorm when the slopes above Flaine are likely to be socked in with cloud. Two lifts get you to the heart of the 265km of slopes in the Grand Massif at the Tete des Saix, from which point there is great skiing northwards to Morillon and Samoens, southwards to Flaine or westwards back down towards Les Carroz. The ski area tends to suit intermediates, but is also renowned as a great training ground for improving off piste skiing skills – the snowfall here is abundant and the terrain offers great progression from gentle bowls to steeper faces and tree runs.
The village itself is pretty, with lots of wood and stone buildings built in a traditional Savoyard style. It is a little spread out however, and its location on a slope means that if you’re down in the lower part of the village it is a bit of a walk up in the morning to the main gondola. Restaurants are abundant, with several lively bars to choose from too – spring here is particularly good as the southwest facing village is basked in sunshine until late in the afternoon. Les Carroz is a great weekend option, with the transfer from Geneva taking around an hour.

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.
