Forecast today: Partly cloudy
making them excellent for a snowstorm when the slopes above Flaine are likely to be socked in with cloud. Two lifts get you to the heart of the 265km of slopes in the Grand Massif at the Tete des Saix, from which point there is great skiing northwards to Morillon and Samoens, southwards to Flaine or westwards back down towards Les Carroz. The ski area tends to suit intermediates, but is also renowned as a great training ground for improving off piste skiing skills – the snowfall here is abundant and the terrain offers great progression from gentle bowls to steeper faces and tree runs.
The village itself is pretty, with lots of wood and stone buildings built in a traditional Savoyard style. It is a little spread out however, and its location on a slope means that if you’re down in the lower part of the village it is a bit of a walk up in the morning to the main gondola. Restaurants are abundant, with several lively bars to choose from too – spring here is particularly good as the southwest facing village is basked in sunshine until late in the afternoon. Les Carroz is a great weekend option, with the transfer from Geneva taking around an hour.

Spring conditions return after last week’s snow, with overnight freeze followed by daytime thaw. The freezing line peaks at close to 3,000m as the weekend begins during the daytime sun, but this drops off over the course of the new week until daytime highs stay below 2,000m and the overnight curve flattens.
This pattern will continue for most of next week. Over next weekend and into the following week, more unsettled weather is then forecast to move in, bringing with it some more snow along the way – it remains a little too far ahead in time to predict with any certainty when and how much this will be.
