Latest snow report from France
Keep up to date with the latest snow falls in France thanks to our snow report
Some fresh snow fell in the southern French Alps yesterday. Bareges/La Mongie (130/150cm) received 15cm of fresh snow on Wednesday. This has helped the base on the upper slopes rise to a metre and a half which is fantastic. The off-piste is great due to the deep base and there are only a few rocks in places. 30 of the area's 39 lifts are open on Thursday.
No new snow has fallen at Tignes (102/150cm) but their piste conditions are still very good. Fairly cold weather and lovely sunshine has been in the area this week but the good news is that snow is forecast over the weekend. 14cm is forecast for Sunday and then it should get heavier on Monday night.
Conditions in Les Deux Alpes (60/150cm) are also good but they could do with some more fresh snow. The 20cm of snow forecast for Sunday night should help to boost conditions. A further 18cm of snow is forecast for Monday, so things are looking up for Les Deux Alpes. 45 of the 55 lifts are running on Thursday.
