Front de Neige, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Live Cam

The snow front at Les Karellis lies below this webcam, at a ski resort above Montricher-Albanne in the Maurienne valley. Ski school groups fill the flat area below the lens, with a lift station and chalets behind them.

The resort sits at about 1,600 metres and was built for group and family skiing rather than for property investment, so the beginner slopes run right into the village. Lifts from here reach up to 2,500 metres on the ridge above.

School holidays fill this area with instructor groups from mid-morning. The sun drops behind the ridge early, and the front de neige empties as it goes.
