Snowy Start to April in the Alps
Login
Ski areas with slopes above 2,000m are reporting heavy snowfall and low temperatures to start April.
As with the snowfalls a week ago, resorts in France and northern and western Italy and Switzerland have reported the biggest accumulations, although the snowfall is widespread.
Saas Fee has reported the biggest 24 hour snowfall - 70cm, with Crans Montana reporting 35cm up high.
Most are reporting temperatures back down below freezing with Val d'Isere, pictured above on Saturday, April 1, 2023, saying the snow is sticking right down to its base level. Neighbouring Tignes is posting the deepest base in Europe at over 4.5m. Both areas are open into May.
Snowfall is expected to continue through the weekend and temperatures to stay low into next week, so a good start of April and the Easter holidays.
