Looks like quite a few people are coming here via searches for “when will it snow in the Alps”.
Of course, I have no better answer than “not soon, probably”. Luckily, it snowed a couple of weeks ago and temperatures are cold, so almost all slopes are open. If you want to come to the Alps for skiing, you shouldn’t be disappointed.
Me, I’m heading to Monterosa on the 29th and will be there until January 7th, so I sure hope there’s enough snow.
I have friends coming to the Uk from Australia in september this year. They have never seen snow.
I want to take them somewhere to experience it during september. Not bothered about ski-ing, just playing in the stuff. Any idea which places will have guaranteed snow in september?
Thanking you in anticipation of a reply,
Grahame.
September? You must be joking
With these years’ climate it’s becoming incresingly hard to find snow in the summer, even at high altitudes.
There are some glaciers that are used for summer skiing, where you might find some snow. The ones that I know of, this side of the Alps, are on the Mont Blanc (near Courmayeur) and the Plateau Rosa area near Breuil-Cervinia. These places are on the Italian side of the Western Alps.
