Snow report, 27 March 2025
Another week of changeable weather here and cooler temperatures with sunshine, cloud, a little rain and snow!. Those pisteurs have been maintaining and grooming the slopes fabulously to give us great ski conditions daily.
Current weather in Chamonix
The lower slopes are holding up well, with most still open, although some connecting runs are starting to suffer. Higher up the snow remains plentiful and in good condition.
We’ve got typical spring conditions, tending to be icy in the early mornings, reat skiing mid-morning and then softening into slush from around 14:00. Daytime temperatures at 2400m are between -2°C and 0°C.
Fresh snow incoming…
A change in temperatures is on the way, bringing fresh snow on Friday night into Saturday. We could see up to 7cm, with the freezing level dropping to around 1100m on Saturday night. This sets Sunday up to be a good powder day, with some sunshine expected, though it will stay chilly with light breezes.
From Sunday into early next week, temperatures will rise again, reaching around 0°C on Tuesday at 2400m, and the snow line will climb to roughly 2000m. Expect freeze-thaw conditions—icy slopes in the morning, gradually softening through the day.
Avalanche risk
The avalanche risk is currently 2 out of 5 (moderate). Wind slabs represent the main danger and where there are weak layers in the old snowpack which can be triggered by skiers. Moist and wet avalanches require caution. The most prone locations are likely to be found around the base of rock walls and where there are abrupt changes in terrain and in gullies and bowls, however these are difficult to recognise.
As always, exercise extreme caution. If heading off-piste, ensure you have the proper equipment, up-to-date weather information, and seek advice from the resort or a qualified guide.

Top tips if you are skiing this week
We have quieter pistes and spring-like ski conditions. There are plenty of events planned in Chamonix in the next few weeks, check out our events calendar.
- The temperature is changeable in the mountains and this weeks weather is a mixed bag, but a little warmer than last week. So layers, a shell jacket, sunglasses or goggles with the low light and sunshine lens this week, more lightweight gloves are a good idea, but you may need something waterproof on Saturday!
- Get out on the slopes early and plan a late lunch to make the most of the spring-like snow, before it gets slushy
- Book your table for lunch on an outdoor terrace, in advance to avoid disappointment. Looks like good sunny weather on Monday and Tuesday next week
- Don't forget the sunscreen! the sun in the mountains is intense.
- The pistes can be quite hard-packed in places, but the snow on the sides of the runs is often softer. Keep to the sides of the pistes for a more effortless, less icy experience.
There is still time to book for a last minute ski escape - check out where to stay in Chamonix.
