Forecast today: Light rain shwr
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.

Good conditions remain in play for resorts that are still open, with the snowpack holding up well above 2,000m. This is especially true after the good snowfall of the last couple of weeks, which has been retained at these higher elevations.
Things will remain broadly calm and dry for the French Alps this week, with high pressure bringing sun and fine, dry and bright conditions for many areas. The freezing line will climb gently over this weekend and into the new week, beginning at 1,750m overnight/2,250m day and rising to 2,500/3,500m.
Some precipitation may move across the region in the middle of next week – this could well fall as rain given these mild conditions.
