Forecast today: Generally clear
- Max temp: 0.6 °c
- Min temp: -11.2 °c
- Last snowed: Tue 27 Jan
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 22/01
A promising week is in store for the French Alps, as the freezing line prepares to take a long walk off a short pier and plummet to finish off the week, as unsettled weather moves in at the same time. Snowfall already falling over the Alps will therefore being to reach lower slopes over the course of Thursday.
Friday will dawn cold as the freezing line hits 500m, and whilst it will recover over the course of the day it won’t climb too far above 1,500m. Snow will begin with flurries throughout the afternoon, then will continue for much of this forecast period. Around half-a-foot will fall over each of Saturday, Sunday and Monday, before the taps open on Tuesday and around 2ft of snowfall could be expected across higher ground – the freezing line will climb to 2,000m thereby limiting this snowfall across lower slopes, before falling again as Tuesday draws to a close.
This snow will fall on a persistent weak layer avalanche problem that has already caused havoc across the French Alps in previous weeks; expect the avalanche risk to climb considerably over this period. Check your local avalanche forecast and plan off piste and backcountry travel carefully.
