Significant fresh snow has already fallen and is forecast to continue at the French ski resorts

Despite a slow start to the season, some of the most popular resorts in France, including Val d’Isère and Val Thorens in the Alps and even Isola 2000 on the French Riviera from where you can see the Mediterranean sea, are open and now offer great skiing. Many more are also due to open over the weekend, such as Portes du Soleil and La Plagne.

On-the-ground reports show that slope conditions are improving on a daily basis across all resorts with fresh snow hitting heavy earlier in the week and more forecast to fall. For example on Tignes’ famous Grande Motte, yesterday’s temperature reached no higher than -10°C with 30cm of fresh snow falling on top of the 100cm already there. The story is similar elsewhere, with some even at strong risk of avalanche.
