Forecast today: Mainly fair
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.

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.
