A 10 day period of mostly dry weather in the Alps has ended with some significant fresh snowfall reported this morning and more expected through the weekend.
Les Arcs, pictured top, has reported 25cm (10") of fresh snowfall this morning. Les Menuires in the 3 Valleys has reported the biggest total so far of 60cm (24") over 72 hours.
Other French resorts including Megeve, Meribel, Chamonix Mont-Blanc and Val d'Isère have each posted 16" (40cm) of snowfall so far.
The avalanche danger has gone back up to 4 (high) on the scale to 5 having previously dropped to 3 "considerable" after the snowfall from the big pre-Christmas fall ended.
There's been snowfall reported in Austria, Western Italy and Switzerland too but so far its closer to 10-15cm (4-6") there in most cases, although Solden has posted 12" (30cm).
The coming week is looking cold and snowy across much of the Alps with regular snowfall expected.
