La Plagne snow report and forecast

Discover the latest La Plagne snow conditions

Author Caro Blackwell, Destination Editor Updated

A calm week with sunny skies

We’ve enjoyed a stunning bluebird week here in La Plagne, following last Friday and Saturday’s snowfall. Since then, the sun has shone brightly, bringing clear skies and cold temperatures, making for some fantastic days on the slopes. Nights have been crisp, with temperatures staying below freezing above 2000m.

Upcoming weather in La Plagne

Tonight will be the chilliest of the next few days, with temperatures dipping to around -6°C. For the most part, we’re expecting it to stay below freezing at higher altitudes with generally dry conditions and light winds.

Light snow showers which will likely be drizzle below 1500m are forecast for Saturday night and Sunday morning in La Plagne, but won’t amount to much. 

A high-pressure system sitting just north of the Alps will extend over the weekend, bringing slightly milder air. This will cause the snowline to rise during the day, though cold nights and early mornings will persist. Thanks to these conditions, resorts can continue to run snow cannons on lower slopes, maintaining the excellent snow quality.

Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday promise more of the same dry, calm, and sunny weather, with temperatures cooler than the weekend. While precipitation isn’t expected until at least Thursday of next week, predicting this far out is not very reliable.

Top tips for skiers this week in La Plagne

  • Quiet pistes: Take advantage of the January lull! Ski between 12:00 and 14:00, and you'll feel like you have the mountain to yourself.
    Snow conditions: While the pistes are well-maintained, some spots can be hard-packed. For a smoother ride, stick to the softer snow along the edges.
  • Gear up: Pack both low light and sunny lenses. Layering is key to adapting to the changing temperatures, especially with the wind chill on certain lifts.
  • Stay warm: Even with mild daytime temperatures, the breeze can make it feel much colder. A buff or neck warmer will keep you comfortable on those breezy lifts.
  • Safety first: Avalanche risk is currently at 3 out of 5 above 2000m. If you plan to venture off-piste, ensure you have the proper equipment, information, and guidance.

There's still time to take advantage of January cheaper flights and good deals on accommodation. Check out what's on in January in La Plagne.
