The slopes may only cover 75km, but
there is good variety and excellent vertical to be had from the 2749m summit down to the lowest of the three base villages at 1400m. There are excellent long green runs in the lower, tree-lined part of the mountain, plus a number of long blues and reds. Up high, there is lots of steep, open terrain above the treeline, which after a powder day turns into a large off piste playground. Three long, fast chairs serve much of the terrain, but the summit is only accessible by a slow 4-seater.
There are two options in terms of accommodation. You can either stay at the foot of the slopes at Station 1400, which is home to some well-located apartment blocks and some decent value chalets. Further up the hill, there is Station 1600, which offers further slopeside accommodation. Both resorts are generally quiet at night, but offer up a decent selection of bars and restaurants. Both Lyon and Nice airports are around 4 hours away by car, with Grenoble a little closer at 3 hours away.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 30/12
The New Year dawns bright, dry and sunny as high pressure remains over much of Europe during this time. This changes rapidly as the weekend begins, with large flows of low pressure and cold air moving in from the East. This will bring excellent snow totals to much of the French Alps.
Snow will begin on Friday with around 20cm down. This will then increase to up to 1m down over higher ground, snow continuing into Sunday with another 15cm forecast. The freezing line will rise to around 2,000m throughout this period however snowfall is expected to reach lower down the hill too.
This snow will fall on a persistent weak layer and layers of facets within the snowpack that have already triggered avalanches over the festive period. Expect the avalanche warning to rise greatly in the coming days, and the snowpack to take a long time to settle – plan all back country travel and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Snowfall is expected to continue in the new week after a brief flurry of sunshine on Monday, with temperatures plummeting as the freezing line hits below sea level.
