Les Arcs is looking properly wintery after a significant spell of snowfall that has refreshed the entire mountain. The high altitude bowls above Arc 2000 are filled in and dramatic, while the forested runs lower down feel quieter and more enclosed under fresh snow. There is a settled, mid winter feel across the resort now, and conditions on the mountain feel magical while remaining consistent and easy to enjoy.
Snow and Weather Summary
Snow depths are currently around 210 to 230cm on the upper mountain, with approximately 90 to 110cm in the lower villages depending on altitude. The recent snowfall delivered between 50 and 80cm across the area since last Thursday, with the heaviest totals falling above 2000m and some wind redistribution on exposed ridges. This snowfall has significantly improved coverage and snow quality across the whole ski area, with strong skiing conditions on most pistes at all elevations and soft, supportive snow underfoot. Daytime temperatures at altitude have been ranging between -8 and -4 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level close to 1200m, helping to preserve snow quality. Winds were strong during the snowfall but have since eased, allowing lift operations to run normally. Despite the excellent on piste conditions, the volume and intensity of recent snowfall have led to very high avalanche risk, particularly in off piste and uncontrolled terrain across the wider Paradiski area.
