Forecast today: Partly cloudy
That being said, the variety of tree-lined slopes directly above the villages is often enough to keep many skiers happy – the three fast chairs in the sector serve a great network of long, wooded slopes.
However, more adventurous skiers will want to head right out across to ski the iconic Aiguille Rouge and take on the long decent to Villaroger, or take the cable car across to La Plagne and head to the lofty Bellecôte Glacier.
The villages are both pretty, in stark contrast to the mega resorts of La Plagne and Les Arcs further up the hill. Although there are some small hotels, much of the accommodation comes in the form of catered or self-catered chalets, many of which are traditionally wood-clad and are run by British tour operators. Getting here is simple via the valley and Aime or Bourg-Saint-Maurice – catch the Eurostar and TGV or drive around 2.5 hours from Geneva.

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.
