- Last snowed: Mon 22 Dec
A gondola, telemix and two fast 6-seater chairs serve a varied ski area directly above the resort village of Pra Loup.
These are nicely tree-lined, so are excellent in bad weather, and snowmaking investment has really improved snow reliability in recent years. From the summit of Le Lac, there are long runs down to Les Angneliers, opening up the rest of the Espace Lumiere and the runs over towards the linked resort of Foux_d’Allos. Just be aware that most of the lifts required to get you over there are slow, so on a cold windy day make sure you wrap up warm.
The village itself is well located right at the foot of the slopes, with all accommodation, bars and restaurants forming a horseshoe shape in the trees by the lift stations. This means you’re rarely more than a minute or two from the lifts in the morning, making Pra Loup a very family-friendly option. There is also the satellite village of Les Molanes, which offers up some further options, plus lift access via a gondola to the slopes. Getting here does take a while however, with transfers from either Nice or Lyon taking around 4 hours.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 24/12
After a relatively mild spell, dominated by dry weather and high pressure, things turn colder and snowier over the Christmas period – this will be limited to resorts hugging the Italian border, however, as this snow is driven by a “Retour d’Est” system making its way across northern Italy.
A cold front will begin to push into the northern Alps on Christmas day, bringing moderate snow to resorts at higher elevations. Expect snowfall around 800m, with accumulations of 5-10cm across higher ground. Temperatures will dip to -4°C at 2,000m, making for crisp, wintry conditions. This will continue into Boxing Day with a further 15cm expected down.
Conditions will shift again as the weekend begins, with high pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions returning to the Alps. The freezing line will remain cold, hovering around 1,000m throughout.
