This coming weekend marks the end of the ski season in France with the final five areas still open marking the end of winter operations. However, three of them are set to re-open for summer skiing over the coming months.
From Monday only Les 2 Alpes will still be offering lift-accessed skiing in the French Alps. It will switch to offer high-altitude skiing only until the end of May.
"Skiers can enjoy well-covered slopes, exceptional panoramic views and beautiful sunny spring days," a spokesperson said.
From June 1st the centre is open another six weeks through to July 7, however its glacier slopes are reserved for pro teams training, but its Snowpark 3200 summer terrain park remains open to all.
For skiers looking for a full ski run though, there's just a short wait before Val d'Isère opens for its three-week summer ski season, from Friday, June 6th to Sunday, June 29th this year. It offers 3 slopes open to all, Moraine, Montet, Combe du Géant served by the Cascade chairlift and Montet ski lift. A further four runs are open but again reserved for race training.
Tignes has the latest summer ski season opening from 20 June to 19 July this year. The resort's Perce Neige funicular operates from 6.45am daily to allow access to the summer ski slopes, which includes up to 20km of slopes open until noon daily.
