Snow report, 6 March 2025

Imprint: By Caro Blackwell, Updated 9 May 2026

Well what a week of good, dry sunny weather we have had here in Tignes for the last week of the European half term holidays. And as the temperatures have cooled at night the snow quality is holding really well. The freeze thaw cycle is giving spring snow with firmer conditions in the morning and softer snow in the afternoons.

Next few days weather in Tignes

These spring-like conditions look set to last through to Saturday, then on Sunday we have a low moving east bringing clouds and precipitation. The first snow/rain looks likely to arrive Sunday evening, continuing into Monday and Tuesday. We can expect up to 16cm of fresh snow over around 1700m.

Precipitation will probably continue Wednesday and Thursday next week too, but there is an element of uncertainty this far out and dependant on the low pressure moving across. It will be cooler next week than this week, meaning the snow line will drop a little to around 1650m.

Avalanche risk

Avalanche risk is currently set at 2 (moderate) over 2000m. There could be weak layers now hidden under the fresh new snow we had Tuesday. The more avalanche prone locations are to be found on steep shady slopes above the treeline.

Watch this

Quieter pistes and spring is in the air

School holidays are over, we have quieter pistes and spring-like conditions now. There are plenty of events planned during March in Tignes, check out our events calendar.

Top tips if you are skiing this week

The temperature is changeable in the mountains as we move towards spring skiing. So layers, including a waterproof one this week. A shell jacket, goggles for low light this week and more lightweight gloves are a good idea. Open those vents on the warmer days!
Get out on the slopes early and plan a late lunch to make the most of the spring-like snow
The pistes can be quite hard-packed in places, but the snow on the sides of the runs is often softer. Keep to the sides of the pistes for a more effortless, less icy experience.
Always check the avalanche risk in resort and don't head off-piste if you don't have the up to date information, equipment and guidance

And as the busy holiday time comes to an end, if you are taking your ski holiday in March, check out what’s happening in Tignes during March.
