The Alps

The south-west Alps has seen a dusting of snow with 5-10 cm at 2,200m.

The ski resort of Isola 2000 in France is one area that has benefited.

“The weather across the rest of the Alps will be dry today with significant cloud in the south-west but plenty of sunshine further north and east,” said the alpine weather expert, Fraser Wilkin from weathertoski.co.uk

“It will remain mostly dry over the next few days with freezing levels rising again next week.”

There are 17 ski areas currently open in the Alps mostly, but not exclusively, on glaciated terrain.

Ski areas currently open in the Alps:

  • Austria: Pitztal, Hintertux, Stubai, Soelden, Kaunertal, Kitzsteinhorn & Molltal.
  • Italy: Passo Stelvio, Cervinia, Sulden & Val Senalis.
  • Switzerland: Verbier, Zermatt, Saas-Fee, Murren, Titlis Glacier (Engleberg) & Diavolezza Glacier (St Moritz).

Kitzbuhel in Austria plans to open a small area this weekend using snow farmed from last season to create a few kilometres of slopes.

The Pyrenees

There has been some snow in France, Andorra and Spain.

Up to 20cm could fall in the French Pyrenees above 2,000m.

The ski resort of Baqueira Beret in Spain has seen snow as has the resorts in Andorra.

There will be further falls in the Pyrenees over the weekend, but the temperature is set to rise next week so much of it will melt.
