The first snow has fallen across the Alps and everyone in the ski industry is jumping for joy! For us here at Snowplaza, it's always a magical moment when the first snow falls and we can make our first snow reports. For us it means the countdown to the beginning of the ski season 2014/2015 has officially started. It has snowed right across the Alps but this year, it is the Austrian ski resorts which have been blessed with heavy first snowfalls over the last few days. Just to really get you in the mood for the coming ski season, we selected the best photos and webcam shots from the last few days from the Austrian, Swiss and French ski resorts.
The heaviest snowfalls were on Wednesday and Thursday in the Austria Alps in particular the northern regions of the Alps and the Tyrol. In some ski resorts like Solden, Lech and St. Anton im Arlberg have already had up to 100 cm of fresh snow up on the highest slopes. The webcams in St Anton give the impression we are already in high season! In Switzerland, St. Moritz has also had a huge dump of snow. The higher ski resorts in France such as Tignes have had their first snow too! Unfortunately, warm weather is expected this weekend and over the next week with temperatures as high as 7-11 degrees at an altitude of 1,500 meters, so most of this beautiful first snow will end up in the streams in the valleys! So, enjoy the beautiful photos of the first snow in the Alps we will keep you posted on upcoming snowfalls to get you ready for your next ski holidays.
Solden
The luxury ski resort of St. Anton in Austria has already had its fair share of early season snow! Today's webcam is showing a wonderful mid-season image!
This beautiful photo was taken yesterday in Oberlech, also in the Ski Arlberg ski area.
The popular ski resort of Ischgl didn't miss out and sent us this wonderful photo of the resort under its first white blanket.
The Ski Zillertal 3000 ski area is home to the popular ski resort of Mayrhofen.
The Jungfrau Region in Switzerland shared by the ski resorts of Murren and Wengen, is looking ready for the coming ski season with a very healthy first snowfall.
This lovely webcam shot from today at 4pm shows a beautiful white blanket on the mountains around St. Moritz in Switzerland.
Mother Nature was less generous in the French Alps although some high altitude ski resorts such as Tignes received light snowfalls. Skiers have already been up on the glacier enjoying early season skiing since the beginning of October!
Don't forget you can set up your own personalised SnowAlert which will inform you of all the latest weather and snow reports in your chosen ski resort(s). It takes a matter of seconds to set up and will keep you in the know about the latest snow!
