The Tarentaise resorts have been absolutely hammered — around 2.5 metres of snow in just 10 days. That’s transformed conditions across the region. Expect deep powder, fully refreshed pistes and that mid-season feel that everyone hopes for.
But massive storm cycles come with consequences. Avalanche risk has risen sharply, terrain has changed quickly and visibility has been challenging at times. This video shows what it’s genuinely like on the ground right now — where skiing is best and where extra caution is needed.
Val / Tignes aren’t La Plagne, but they sit just behind Paradiski. In big regional weather patterns like this, conditions are often broadly comparable and extremely useful for La Plagne trip planning.

What this means for La Plagne
This update gives a strong indication of how the Tarentaise snowpack has been behaving after sustained heavy snowfall. While filmed in Val Tignes, the overall trends are broadly relevant across the valley.
- Huge snowfall totals mean rapid changes in stability, particularly off-piste.
- Wind loading and aspect variation can create very different conditions from one slope to the next.
- On-piste skiing is excellent, but backcountry riding should wait until conditions properly settle. A significant percentage of avalanches occur just off marked runs. After the tragic incidents across the Alps in recent weeks, it simply isn’t worth the risk. Wait for official clearance and, even then, go with a guide and the correct kit, knowledge and experience.
