Forecast today: Mainly fair
The resort was built for the 1992 Winter Olympics, but although it is purpose- built French resort its wood-clad buildings sit comfortably in a pretty woodland setting and it definitely is nowhere near as bleak looking as some other resorts in the area. Off the slopes, there’s not a huge amount to do – you’ll need to head further up to the larger resorts for the swimming pools, ice rinks, toboggan tracks and cross country trails.

France gets off to a slow start over the weekend with cold temperatures and minimal snow and a freezing line sitting around the 2000m mark. High pressure dominates the weekend until Monday meaning lovely blue bird days for a great weekend of skiing. This then turns to low pressure which results in a return of snow.
As we move into the next week, there is an early flurry of snow, most notably in Chamonix and for most of the northern French Alps getting 30-40 cm’s of snow early next week. Temperatures seem to stay around the -3 degrees mark and the creeping up to -6/-7 overnight.
The most up-to-date avalanche forecasting for the French Alps can be found on Meteo France’s website
