Snow Report, 21 January 2026

By Nye Erskine, Updated

Les Deux Alpes has a solid mid winter feel this week, with the glacier and upper mountain holding onto their snow well and the resort looking settled rather than changeable. The high terrain above town remains bright and well covered, while lower slopes are quieter and more consistent than earlier in the season. There is a steady, unhurried rhythm to skiing at the moment, and conditions feel dependable across much of the area.

Snow and Weather Summary

Current snow depths are sitting at around 200 to 220cm on the upper mountain and glacier, with approximately 50 to 70cm at resort level. There has been little new snowfall over the past few days, though occasional light snow flurries at altitude have helped keep piste surfaces fresh. Daytime temperatures on the mountain have been ranging between -7 and -4 degrees Celsius, with the freezing level hovering close to 1500m. Snow conditions are skiing well higher up, where packed powder and well groomed pistes are offering good grip throughout the day. Lower runs are firmer first thing and tend to soften slightly by early afternoon, particularly on sunnier aspects. Winds have generally been light, with no significant impact on lift operations.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days remains largely dry with a mix of cloud and brighter spells. Temperatures are expected to stay seasonable, which should help maintain current snow conditions rather than cause rapid changes. Any new snowfall looks light and mainly focused on higher elevations later in the week. In resort, Les Deux Alpes continues its winter programme with night skiing, village events and live music evenings adding atmosphere.

Snow Takeaway

Les Deux Alpes is offering reliable mid winter skiing, with the best snow found higher up where coverage and snow quality remain most consistent. Early starts suit the lower slopes before they firm up, while spending time on the upper mountain and glacier will give the best conditions over the next few days.
