Les Arcs Snow Report & Forecast
Discover the latest Les Arcs snow conditions
Les Arcs continues into March with the mountain looking solidly wintery across its wide network of high altitude slopes. From the forested runs around Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 through to the open terrain above Arc 2000, snow coverage remains reliable and the pistes are holding up well after the busy holiday weeks. The surrounding peaks above the Aiguille Rouge still carry a deep base and the wider Paradiski area remains in good shape.
Snow and Weather Summary
Current snow depths are around 75 to 95 cm at resort level around 1800 metres, with between 190 and 260 cm reported on the upper slopes above 2700 metres, particularly near the Aiguille Rouge which rises to 3226 metres. A small refresh of around 5 to 10 cm has fallen recently across higher terrain which has improved the skiing on exposed slopes while the deeper base remains stable.
Temperatures have ranged from minus 10 to minus 5 degrees on the upper mountain and between minus 2 and plus 4 degrees in the villages depending on sunshine. The freezing level has generally fluctuated between 1600 and 2000 metres during the day and drops overnight which helps maintain the quality of the pistes after grooming. Winds have been light to moderate across most of the ski area with only occasional stronger gusts on the highest ridges.
On piste, the best conditions are found above 2100 metres where the snow remains firm and consistent through most of the day. North facing slopes around Arc 2000 and the Aiguille Rouge sector are holding particularly well and offer dependable skiing from morning through the afternoon. Lower runs through the trees ski best earlier in the day before softening slightly in sunnier periods.
Outlook & What’s On
The outlook for the coming days suggests a mixture of sunshine and cloud with the possibility of light snowfall at higher elevations later in the week. Freezing levels are expected to vary slightly but overnight cooling should continue to preserve the overall quality of the snowpack. Any fresh snowfall would mainly enhance the upper mountain where coverage is already strongest.
Les Arcs continues to host a lively programme of activities during early March including mountain events, family entertainment and live music across the resort villages. With the peak holiday period now past, the slopes feel calmer while the resort atmosphere remains vibrant.
Weather outlook as of: 9 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 is skiing best above 2100 metres where snow depth and surface quality remain strongest, particularly across the higher terrain near Arc 2000 and the Aiguille Rouge. Early runs on lower slopes will offer the most consistent conditions before any afternoon softening. With a solid base still in place, the resort continues to offer reliable skiing as March progresses.
