Forecast today: Occasional rain
The local slopes are pretty and tree-lined, mostly rated blue and served by the recently-built Montalbert gondola. From here, a choice of two chairs gets you in to La Plagne Centre and into the heart of the main ski area, which is home to a fantastic variety of slopes. The trip across to Les Arcs takes a while (you’ll need to catch at least 5 lifts) but is well worth it if you’re an adventurous skier
The village is compact and convenient, with accommodation located in a horseshoe around the base of the main access gondola. There’s a decent selection of restaurants both here and on the slopes, plus the added attraction nearby of the La Plagne bobsleigh track just up the road. Getting here is easy – only 2.5 hours from Geneva.

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
