Unprecedented snowfall this season so far (average snowfall for a whole season fell before the middle of January) but finally a decent break in the weather is forecast from Tuesday next week.
Looking like another difficult transfer weekend with heavy snow especially on Saturday afternoon and special equipment (chains / snow tyres) likely to be mandatory to get to resort, so be prepared (and practice putting those chains on – they’re bound to be a different type of fitting to the last time you tried!).
Should be epic when the weather does clear up and the mountain is secured. Currently off piste Avalanche Risk is 4 out of 5 (HIGH RISK) right across the Savoie at all levels on all aspects. THINK
And the Val Thorens pic…
