Winter 24/25 ski season build up
The ski season is upon us, and the excitement is building! Snow is falling across the Alps, and early winter forecasts are looking promising. We can’t wait to keep you updated with the latest snow reports from Chamonix throughout the season.
Here we are back for another season and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the winter ski season. It's getting colder in the resort with hard frosts now and we’re seeing good snowfall this week all across the Alps down to around 1000 metres.
The high peaks are taking on that majestic freshly snow clad look once again and the pisteurs are out there preparing the slopes. Check back here weekly for the latest snow and weather report.

First snow
The first snow has arrived in Chamonix with more forecast this week. Up to 100cm of snow is forecast over the next few days. It is going to be really cold too with temperatures down to -12°C at 1200m.
While you are waiting to get out here, we’ve had our ear to the ground to bring you What’s New in Chamonix this winter and have been updating our site to bring you the news from Chamonix this winter.
Alongside night skiing and new year parades you’ll find night time sledging, the Chamonix Unlimited Festival and the Kandahar Junior Alpine ski race. These events and more are all in our events calendar.
