The weather in the Alps is stuck in a bit of a rut, with lots of snow set to fall in some south-western regions over the next few days, with extreme snowfall forecast in the southern Piemonte (e.g. Prato Nevoso, Limone Piemonte). Many northern and eastern areas will again miss out.
From the middle of next week, temperatures will become noticeably colder but with snow flurries remaining localised, mostly to pockets of the southern Alps.
Over the next 4 days, weather models are predicting over 2m of snow in parts of the southern Piedmont (e.g. Prato Nevoso) and, while this must be taken with a big pinch of salt, this area will clearly see some exceptional snowfall totals. Other ski resorts that will see significant snow over the next few days include Isola 2000, Auron, Sestriere, Prali and Alagna, to name just a few.
Bigger name resorts like Zermatt, Saas-Fee, Val Cenis and even Val d’Isère/Tignes may also see useful falls. In general, the northern Alps (e.g. Chamonix, Avoriaz, Verbier, Wengen, Engelberg, Davos, Lech, Saalbach, Kaprun) will see little (if any) snowfall over the next few days.
This is likely to also be the case for the eastern Italian Alps (Dolomites), although this region may pick up some flurries mid-week…
