Forecast today: Generally clear
The local slopes are pretty and tree-lined, mostly rated blue and served by the recently-built Montalbert gondola. From here, a choice of two chairs gets you in to La Plagne Centre and into the heart of the main ski area, which is home to a fantastic variety of slopes. The trip across to Les Arcs takes a while (you’ll need to catch at least 5 lifts) but is well worth it if you’re an adventurous skier
The village is compact and convenient, with accommodation located in a horseshoe around the base of the main access gondola. There’s a decent selection of restaurants both here and on the slopes, plus the added attraction nearby of the La Plagne bobsleigh track just up the road. Getting here is easy – only 2.5 hours from Geneva.

Snow returns to the Alps again from Tuesday afternoon, as up to 30cm falls overnight Tuesday and throughout Wednesday in the Southern and Eastern French Alps. This is aided by a freezing line topping out at 2,000m, falling off to 1,500m overnight, allowing this snow to reach all elevations. Resorts in the far northwest of the region, closest to Geneva, will miss out on this snow as it tracks in from the East, over the Italian Alps.
After a cold Wednesday evening, high pressure and spring conditions return, with a serious swing between overnight lows and midday highs. The freezing line will settled at 1,000m overnight, before climbing to over 2,500m in the midday sun. This amplitude will close as the weekend approaches, with the overnight freezing line tucking in just below 2,000m.
These fine, dry and bright conditions will continue well into the weekend and beyond.
