Since our last update it snowed 30cm on Christmas day (perfect for a white Christmas), a little more on New Year’s day. And a lot more over the last four days: a whopping 80cm at Gornergrat and 33cm in the village. Conditions on piste are outstanding and off-piste epic!

The Gornergrat Ski Slopes this week

 

It snowed up until last Saturday, and then Sunday December 3d was one of the best powder days ever, with 40cm of fresh snow. A glorious start to the season, and a perfect base for the coming Christmas and New Year holidays. All three mountains in Zermatt are open, as are Cervinia and Valotournenche on the Italian side.

Very Snowy Start to the 2023-4 Winter Season

Empty pistes and fresh powder tracks: the miracle of skiing in Zermatt in November!

We have had an exceptional amount of early snow, so much in fact that the new FIS downhill race on November 11/12th had to be cancelled because there was too much! What this means is that the base for the coming season is really good, and every new snowfall from now on will hold well: the season is set to be a great one!
