Villard de Lans has access to 125km of pistes which offer excellent variety.
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 Crêtes 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 après scene. Grenoble airport is just an hour’s drive from the resort and Chambéry and Lyon airports are good alternatives.<

Updated 21/01
After a steady period for the French Alps, there is a return to snowy conditions for many areas as this week concludes and into the weekend.
Low pressure marches steadily up the Atlantic Coast of the continent, bringing stormy conditions for the UK and Ireland – Storm Éowyn – but the meeting point between low and high will be right over the Swiss and French Alps. This will allow unsettled conditions to move in and encourage cold air to come in from the north, creating unsettled weather for the region.
Cloud will give way to cloud and snow from Wednesday onwards, with 30cm of snowfall expected down across higher ground on that day. Note this will fall predominantly across higher ground, as the freezing line crawls up to around 2,000m at the same time. Temperatures will fluctuate for the rest of the weekend, staying around 0 degrees during the day, but dropping off to -10°C overnight.
Another bout of snowfall is expected on Sunday, with 15cm expected down on Sunday. Again, this will be limited to higher ground because of where the freezing line sits for much of this time.
