Frequently asked questions about Les 7 Laux

Where is Les 7 Laux?

Les 7 Laux is in Isère (Belledonne), France, with the base at 1350 m and the top at 2400 m.

When does Les 7 Laux open?

Les 7 Laux has not announced its opening date for the 2026/27 season yet. Our own estimate, based on the resort's altitude and its past seasons, puts it around December 13, 2026: that is a forecast, not an announcement. The resort confirms the date each autumn and we keep it up to date at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/les-7-laux.

When does Les 7 Laux close?

Les 7 Laux is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 19, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2400 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/les-7-laux.

How much snow is there in Les 7 Laux and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Les 7 Laux daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-7-laux. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2400 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Les 7 Laux?

Between 1350 and 2400 metres, a vertical drop of 1050 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1350 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Les 7 Laux report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/francia/les-7-laux.
