La Plagne, located at an altitude of 1600 m, with peaks reaching 3080 m, in the Northern French Alps, benefits from specific alpine weather conditions. This page brings together the 9-day weather forecast for La Plagne: four days in detail from Météo-France (minimum and maximum temperatures, expected snowfall, 0°C isotherm), then an outlook through day 9, along with the ski area snow depth. The Northern French Alps avalanche bulletin is also available below.

Snow line: the altitude above which precipitation falls as snow. It is computed hour by hour, during precipitation, from Météo-France temperature and humidity at altitude: it is the altitude where the wet-bulb temperature rises above 1.3°C (the same definition as the German weather service's snowfall line). Météo-France days only, not the longer-range outlook.

Snow quality
Au-dessus de 2700m indice de risque limité, plus bas indice faible.
Stability: Nouvelles instabilités ventées.
Déclenchements provoqués : - Au-dessus de 2700/2800 m, quelques nouvelles instabilités dans la neige récente transportée par le vent. Ces quelques petites instabilités en neige friable ou densifiée sont entretenues par les petites chutes de neige d'ici dimanche matin et le vent de secteur sud-ouest assez fort toute la journée. Ces plaques occasionnent de petites avalanches, taille 1. - Dans les versant Nord au dessus de 2800/3000 m, les couches fragiles persistantes sont encore peu enfouies et donc sollicitables. Cassures généralement 30/40 cm, voire 50 cm dans les secteurs mieux enneigés, de la dent Parrachée à la Grande-Motte. L'emprise des plaques est encore limitée par l'enneigement modeste, on s'attend donc surtout à des taille 1, en terrain bien dégagé et lisse on peut atteindre la rare taille 2. - Plus bas que 2800/3000 m, le manteau est peu épais et les éventuelles instabilités sont modestes.Départs spontanés :.
