The resort itself is actually a collection of five villages in the valley, linked by lifts above and a bus service down below. Termignon is the further west, with Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard the two biggest – you will want to base yourself here for the widest variety of accommodation, quickest access to the slopes and the liveliest evenings after skiing. Prices are generally very affordable here too. Geneva is your nearest airport, with the transfer taking around 2.5 hours.

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
