Stable Weather in the Alps
22nd January 2025
After the very changeable weather at the beginning of January conditions remain stable but things are beginning to change. NEW
There has been little change to the weather in the Alps since the weekend, with lots of cloud in the southern Alps, especially in the south-west where some further snowfalls are likely in places.
Further north, it is mostly dry with plenty of sunshine, but also some areas of cloud spilling northwards across the border areas.
“As was the case over the weekend, most of today’s snow will fall in the far south-western Italian Alps, where resorts including Limone Piedmonte and Prato Nevoso may see another 20-30cm,” said Fraser Wilkin from weathertoski.co.uk on Monday.
“Over the French border, Isola 2000 might also pick up 10cm today, otherwise there will be no more than a few centimetres at best in other south-western Italian resorts like Sestriere and Bardonecchia.
“The Monte Rosa region may also see a dusting. However, for most of the Alps it will be another dry day, albeit rather cloudy in the south.”
Once again the forecasts of weathertoski.co.uk proved to be broadly current.

And how about Japan?
Japanese ski areas are posting the deepest snow in the world so far this winter with a number of resorts now past the 4m (14 feet) upper depth mark, including some in Hakuba where this pic from @centralsnowsportsjapan originates via @PowderQuest pic.twitter.com/7Bs0Y03Wyp
