France snow forecast
15 resorts · ranked by live 10-day powder score
France delivers the biggest lift-served verticals in the world. Chamonix and La Grave are the sport's freeride cathedrals, the Tarentaise (Sainte-Foy, La Rosière, the big linked areas) catches both Atlantic storms and the "retour d'est", and Les Deux Alpes' glacier keeps cold snow on tap. When a west flow lines up, nowhere in Europe offers more descent per storm.
