Snowfall Returns To The Alps
Snowfall Returns To The Alps
Published : 23-Jan-2025 10:34
Fresh snowfall has been reported in the western Alps over the last 24 hours, marking a return to fresh snow conditions for the first time in nearly a fortnight for many areas.
Ski areas in France and Italy have reported up to a foot (30cm) of snowfall in the past 24 hours with snowfall expected to continue through Thursday.
Chamonix has posted one of the larger accumulations with Serre Chevalier posting 20cm and La Plagne and Alpe d'Huez 15cm each. Over the Italian border Courmayeur and Pila have both past 20cm each. Chatel is pictured this morning.
Most of the Alps has been locked under a high pressure system since Sunday 12th January although a weak front already made its way into the far southwest of the region earlier this week bringing 20-30cm accumulations to ski areas like Limone in southern Italy and Isola 2000 in France, the closest resort to Nice on the Mediterranean coast.
The snowy weather is expected to be come more widespread over the coming week with heavier snowfall expected over a wide area from Sunday onwards.
