Great conditions across the entire ski area , with all lifts and practically all runs open to the public today.
The Pisaillas and Fornet sectors will be open, with all runs apart from the Tunnel.
Over on Solaise, everything is open, likewise on the snowfront. With the warm temperatures in the afternoon, there is a chance piste L may close later this afternoon.
