Les Arcs Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Les Arcs snow conditions
Les Arcs is in that familiar late March phase where winter still holds on up high while spring steadily works its way into the lower slopes. The upper mountain is still looking solid first thing, with good coverage and a reliable feel underfoot. Down in the tree lined sectors the change is more noticeable, with softer snow and longer afternoons giving the resort a more relaxed pace. Overall, conditions remain dependable if you follow the altitude through the day.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 80 to 130 cm at resort level, with between 200 and 320 cm higher up across the Aiguille Rouge and upper sectors. There has been very little recent snowfall, with only light flurries at altitude that have not significantly refreshed the surface. Despite this, the base remains strong, particularly above 2000 metres.
Temperatures have been ranging from minus 7 to minus 2 degrees at the top, while resort level has seen daytime highs of around plus 6 to plus 11 degrees. The freezing level has been sitting between 2400 and 2800 metres, dropping overnight and allowing for a consistent refreeze. Winds have generally been light, though occasionally moderate on exposed ridges.
Skiing is best in the morning when pistes are firm and well prepared, offering good grip across the mountain. As the day progresses, the snow softens into a classic spring surface. Higher altitude runs remain in better condition for longer, while lower slopes and return runs become heavier and more variable by mid to late afternoon.
Outlook & What’s On
The weather outlook remains settled, with a run of sunny days expected and only a slight chance of light snowfall at higher elevations. Temperatures are set to stay mild, so the pattern of firm mornings followed by softer afternoons will continue. Early starts will be key to getting the best out of conditions.
Les Arcs is moving into its late season rhythm, with events and activities continuing across the different villages. Outdoor terraces are coming into their own in the afternoons, and there is a steady programme of entertainment and on mountain events as the season moves towards April.
Weather outlook as of: 30 March 2026. As I am sure you are aware, accurately forecasting weather more than two or three days ahead in the mountains is notoriously tricky. If there is a significant change we will update this section before the next full weekly snow report.
Snow Takeaway
Les Arcs continues to offer reliable spring skiing, with the best conditions found early and at higher altitude. Focus on the upper slopes through the day and plan around the warming temperatures to get the most consistent snow.
