Forecast today: Generally clear
- Max temp: 7.8 °c
- Min temp: -0.1 °c
- Last snowed: Tue 25 Mar
Two gondolas from the edge of town or a pair of chairlifts from the satellite village further up at Chinaillon
access a varied, north facing range of slopes. Their aspect helps them hold their snow, but the low altitude and exposure to warm weather fronts on the edge of the Alps can cause snow reliability issues lower down. When the snow is good however, there’s good green runs for beginners, but the main attraction are the long steep reds and blacks off Mont Lachet and La Floria. The lift system is decent, with most of the main runs accessed via fast chairs, but a few slow old chairs and drags remain.
The village is traditional and similar to its near neighbour La Clusaz, with plenty of old wooden buildings and French alpine charm. An alternative base lies at Chinaillon, which has direct access to the slopes and is a little more snowsure, owing to its altitude of 1300m. Off the slopes, cross country and biathlon are big business here and there are some excellent trails in and around the resort as a result. Travel from Geneva takes around an hour on a good run, making this a great weekend destination.

After a few weeks of calm and settled conditions, cool weather moves in to begin the weekend. The freezing line drops from 2,250m in the midday sun to around 1,750 tomorrow, falling lower overnight. This will see a few flurries of snowfall bringing a useful freshener for mid-to-upper elevations.
Cloud and cool conditions continue on Sunday, before more high pressure and fine, dry and bright conditions dominate once again from Monday onwards. The freezing line will fluctuate over the course of the new week, introducing freeze-thaw conditions once again, but will settled into a pattern of hitting around 2,500m in the midday sun , cooling to 1,750m overnight.
This pattern is likely to continue for some time to come.
