Heavy snow has hit many parts of the Alps in the last 24 hours, with plenty more in the forecast over the next few days!
So far, the most snow has fallen in higher parts of the north-western Alps (like Les Arcs, pictured) – where there has been 50cm or more above 2700m, with the same possible again by Monday night. Temperatures have also plummeted, with a dusting of snow to as low as 1200m in places this morning.
Weather-permitting, it is already possible to ski in a dozen or so areas across the Alps, with two of our featured resorts, Sölden and Hintertux offering the greatest extent of terrain, including some non-glacial runs.
This current storm cycle is predicted to end on Tuesday, at which point there will be some truly fabulous early season snow conditions on offer in the Alps.

Fresh snow and excellent snow conditions on the Alpine glaciers…

The Alps have seen their first serious snowfalls of the 2025-26 ski season, with fabulous snow conditions reported on the glaciers of Zermatt, Saas-Fee and the other four or so ski areas that are currently open.
The world-famous ski resorts of Zermatt and Saas-Fee have done particularly well from the recent falls, with 30-40cm of new snow at 3000m and soft powdery snow reported on-piste. Both ski resorts are offering about 15km of runs on their glaciers right now, with more terrain due to open over the coming weeks, if conditions allow.
Over the weekend, the weather in the Alps has settled down again, although further snow flurries are possible in some northern and eastern parts of the Alps later this week. Temperatures will also remain relatively cool, which will help to conserve the snow quality on the glaciers.
