Alps Snow Report
Europe now has eight operating ski areas, one more than last week. Val d'Isère has reopened its Pisaillas Glacier for a planned five-week season, joining Les 2 Alpes, Hintertux, Passo Stelvio and the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Hintertux offers the greatest terrain still available, while fresh snowfall above 2,000m has refreshed glacier surfaces across the Alps.
Alps Snow Forecast
Cool, unsettled weather continues with periodic light snowfall on higher glaciers. Freeze-thaw cycles should keep morning conditions firm before softer afternoons.
Scandinavia Snow Report
Riksgränsen continues its 24-hour daylight skiing schedule from Thursday to Sunday and aims to reach midsummer despite a thinning base. Norway's Stryn still has the deepest cover, while Galdhøpiggen remains reliably wintry at altitude with intermittent light snowfall.
Scandinavia Forecast
A cooler north-to-south split is expected, with occasional snow or sleet at Riksgränsen, cold conditions at Galdhøpiggen and milder weather developing around Stryn.
