Weather & snow in the Alps

Updated: Sunday 28 September 2025 | by Fraser Wilkin

Fresh snow and excellent snow conditions on the Alpine glaciers…

The Alps have seen their first serious snowfalls of the 2025-26 ski season, with fabulous snow conditions reported on the glaciers of Zermatt, Saas-Fee and the other four or so ski areas that are currently open.

The world-famous ski resorts of Zermatt and Saas-Fee have done particularly well from the recent falls, with 30-40cm of new snow at 3000m and soft powdery snow reported on-piste. Both ski resorts are offering about 15km of runs on their glaciers right now, with more terrain due to open over the coming weeks, if conditions allow.

Over the weekend, the weather in the Alps has settled down again, although further snow flurries are possible in some northern and eastern parts of the Alps later this week. Temperatures will also remain relatively cool, which will help to conserve the snow quality on the glaciers.
