- Max temp: 2.4 °c

- Last snowed: Fri 20 Dec
It is a small, purpose-built development in the forest, with most of the skiing higher up on open slopes.
The main access gondola goes to Plateau d’Arrondaz (2220m), where there are nursery slopes and short blue runs. The heart of the skiing is the peak of Punta Bagna (2735m), with two six-packs serving slopes on the front and back – direct genuine blacks back to Plateau d’Arrondaz on the front of the hill (500m vertical), less direct reds and roundabout blues elsewhere, including a glorious long blue all the way to the resort for a vertical of almost 1200m.
There are more direct blue and black ways home, too. The pistes total 70km.
The resort consists mostly of a cluster of chalet-shaped apartment blocks around the lift base, with smaller residences and individual chalets dotted around. There are cleared paths, and snowshoe outings. A chairlift of 160m vertical serves toboggan runs 3km long. Chambery airport is the closest airport to Valfréjus at just an hour and 20 minute drive away. Alternative airports are Grenoble and Geneva which are an hour and a half and a two hour drive away respectively.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 20/12
The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm.
Snow will first arrive in flurries on Saturday, but it is Sunday where things really shift through the gears. At least half-a-metre of snow is expected down, across all elevations as the freezing line falls away, continuing on into Monday when an additional 15cm can be expected. The avalanche risk is already expected to tick up in many areas across France, with a Level 4 – High danger expected from Sunday onwards, with notes for persistent weak layer and wind loading problems. Care should be taken when skiing in the backcountry and careful route planning should be undertaken.
Things are expected to settle down as the Christmas week continues, with Christmas Day itself expected to be fine, dry and bright, albeit remaining fairly cold and fresh. Some beautiful riding conditions are perhaps in store over the Christmas and New Year’s period.
