Updated: 9am Wednesday 3 December 2025 – Fresh snow for a lucky few today, mostly in the far south-west of the Alps...

The area that will see the most snow in the next 24-hours is the far south-western Alps, where 15-30cm is likely (much of it this evening) in the likes of Auron, Isola 2000, Prato Nevoso and Limone Piemonte, with a rain/snow limit between 1000 and 1300m.
Another area that will catch some significant snow is the western foothills of the Alps (e.g. the Vercors and Oisans regions) where 15cm is possible. More generally, though, we will see 5-10cm across the southern French Alps (e.g. Risoul) and south-western Italian Alps (e.g. Sestriere).
Elsewhere in the western Alps, we could see a couple of centimetres here and there (e.g. Val d’Isère, Cervinia) later today/tonight, but most of the Alps will stay dry with the best of any sunshine the further north and east you are.
Tomorrow, another weather front will approach the western Alps with some light flurries likely later in the day. These will push into the same eastern parts of the Alps overnight but will not amount to a great deal.
Updated: 9am Tuesday 2 December 2025 – Mostly dry with variable cloud today in the Alps...
Another mostly dry day is expected in the Alps today, with lots of sunshine in the central and northern Alps, at altitude at least. Further south, it is cloudier with the odd very light shower or flurry in places, especially in the south-east.

, there will be some snow in the far south-western Alps (e.g. Sestriere, Isola 2000) otherwise most places will again be dry with the best of any sunshine the further north and east you are. and will continue to see rather mixed weather conditions across the Alps, with further weak fronts producing a few light showers or flurries here and there but no widespread significant snow.
Nearly 100 ski areas are open across the Alps , 50 less than at the weekend. Most are still only offering very limited skiing, but notable exceptions include Ischgl (159km) and Val d’Isère–Tignes (110km). , we see a major opening in Austria: St Anton–Lech–Zürs in the Arlberg region.

This follows another top of snow for some last night, mostly in the north-western Alps which saw around 5-10cm of fresh snow, with a bit more in places (e.g. Avoriaz).
This week the weather in the Alps will remain a little mixed. There will be lots of dry weather, but relatively weak fronts will try and move in at times, mostly affecting the south-western Alps mid-week (e.g. Isola 2000) and the south-eastern Alps later in the week (e.g. Dolomites).
Around 100 ski areas are open across the Alps today, down by around 50 from the weekend. Most are still only offering very limited skiing, but there are several notable exceptions including Ischgl (156km) and Val d’Isère-Tignes (150km).
