La Plagne Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest La Plagne snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

La Plagne feels firmly settled into winter now, with the mountains looking well filled in and the whole area skiing with confidence. From the tree lined runs lower down to the high altitude bowls above Bellecôte, coverage is strong and consistent. There is a steady, unhurried feel on the slopes at the moment, with conditions that reward getting out early but still hold up well through the day.

Snow and Weather Summary

Snow depths across La Plagne are currently around 220 to 260cm at altitude, with roughly 100 to 120cm at resort level depending on village. There has been a light dusting of a few centimetres over the past week, mainly above 1800m, which has helped freshen the piste surfaces without changing the underlying base. Temperatures have been cold overnight, dropping to around -8 degrees Celsius on the upper mountain, with daytime highs near -2 degrees in resort. The freezing level has mostly stayed below 1500m, keeping snow in good shape, and winds have been light to moderate on exposed ridges. Higher terrain is skiing very well with firm, grippy snow and some softer chalky patches, while lower slopes are best in the mornings before becoming firmer later in the afternoon, particularly on sunnier aspects.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days suggests continued settled weather with cold nights and a mix of sunshine and high cloud. With no major snowfall expected in the short term, conditions should remain stable and predictable across the area. Early February brings a lively but manageable buzz to La Plagne, with regular family friendly activities, evening entertainment in the villages, and organised events from the tourist office as the holiday period approaches.

Snow Takeaway

La Plagne is offering reliable skiing across most of the domain, with the best conditions found higher up and on north facing runs. Lower pistes are skiing best earlier in the day, while the upper mountain provides consistent snow quality from first lift to last.
