Forecast today: Mainly fair
- Max temp: 5 °c
- Min temp: -0.6 °c
- Last snowed: Fri 10 Jan
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.

High pressure dominates over most of Europe this week, thanks to the Jetstream forming a strong barrier along the west cost of Ireland, the UK and Norway. As a result, plenty of sun and fine, dry and bright conditions will be story of the week from now until the end of the weekend.
Things will remain cold, however, with a freezing line camping out at around 1,000m, occasionally peaking to 2,000m in the midday sun. Daytime highs of -5°C can be expected at 2,000m, occasionally slipping into positive temperatures throughout the week.
This barrier is broken as the weekend comes to a conclusion, with more unsettled weather moving in over the course of the new week – it is still to far out to see what affect this may have.
