La Plagne is holding onto winter well for the end of March, with a deep base still covering the slopes and a good amount of terrain open across the resort. The higher sectors are still looking properly wintry in the mornings, while the lower villages are now firmly in spring mode by the afternoon. There is a relaxed feel on the mountain, with quieter pistes and reliable conditions if you follow the sun and timing through the day.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 90 to 140 cm at resort level, with between 200 and 320 cm higher up across the glacier and upper slopes. There has been very little fresh snowfall recently, with only light dustings at altitude that have not made a significant impact on the overall snowpack. Coverage remains very good across the entire ski area, especially above 2000 metres.
Temperatures have been ranging from minus 7 to minus 2 degrees on the highest slopes, while lower down in resort daytime highs have been reaching around plus 5 to plus 10 degrees. The freezing level has been fluctuating between 2400 and 2800 metres, dropping overnight and allowing for a decent refreeze. Winds have generally been light, with occasional moderate breezes on exposed ridges.
Skiing conditions are best early in the day, with firm, well groomed pistes offering consistent grip. As temperatures rise, the snow softens into a more forgiving spring surface, particularly on sunnier aspects. Lower runs back into the villages become heavier and more variable by mid to late afternoon, while higher altitude areas maintain better quality snow for longer.
