Forecast today: Rain shower
For beginners there is an area at the top of the Pre des Preys gondola. There are some great pistes for progression such as the Salamandre which is a long, gentle, windy run. Intermediates can access the runs most suited to them by heading high up the mountain – the runs from the TSD Crรชtes chairlift, the Jaux 1 draglift and the Ourson draglift in particular are excellent. Advanced skiers, while not quite as well served as beginners and intermediates, have plenty to keep them occupied. Le Grand Couloir is a good challenge and extensive off piste can be found in the Petite Moucherolle area.
The resort has a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets. There are luxury hotels should your budget stretch far enough or there are more affordable chalets, hotels and apartments. There is also plenty to do in the resort, including a lively aprรจs scene. Grenoble airport is just an hour’s drive from the resort and Chambรฉry and Lyon airports are good alternatives.<

Good conditions remain in play for resorts that are still open, with the snowpack holding up well above 2,000m. This is especially true after the good snowfall of the last couple of weeks, which has been retained at these higher elevations.
Things will remain broadly calm and dry for the French Alps this week, with high pressure bringing sun and fine, dry and bright conditions for many areas. The freezing line will climb gently over this weekend and into the new week, beginning at 1,750m overnight/2,250m day and rising to 2,500/3,500m.
Some precipitation may move across the region in the middle of next week – this could well fall as rain given these mild conditions.
