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.
