It’s been a great week for ski touring across the Alps. Recent snowfall and favourable conditions have created some excellent opportunities for touring and powder skiing in the mountains around Tignes, Val d’Isère and Sainte-Foy Tarentaise.
In this latest update, FreeFloFloss shares clips from a productive ski touring skills week in the area. The combination of fresh snow and quieter slopes has provided ideal conditions for exploring the mountains and improving touring techniques.
These resorts sit right next to Paradiski, making them a good indicator of the type of snow conditions currently being experienced around La Plagne and Les Arcs.

What this means for La Plagne
The key takeaway for La Plagne is that conditions are transitioning quickly from winter into early spring.
- Heavy snowfall followed by warmer temperatures means the snowpack is continuing to adjust, and stability can evolve quickly.
- Aspect and altitude are increasingly important. Higher north-facing slopes are preserving better snow, while lower sun-exposed areas are moving into spring conditions.
- On-piste skiing remains good, particularly earlier in the day, but off-piste terrain requires careful judgement and awareness of changing stability.
In short: choose your slopes carefully, time your skiing well and remember that conditions can vary significantly across different parts of the mountain.
