It\u2019s been cloudy in parts of the Alps leading into this first Easter week, with the highest resorts seeing a flurry of flakes.<\/span>
\n Other parts are gloriously sunny with knock-your-ski-socks-off views\u2026<\/span>
\n Things came together perfectly on Easter Sunday, when heavy falls\u00a0were consolidated with\u00a0temperature drops later on!<\/span>
\n Here’s what 10 of our favourite resorts looked like earlier today:<\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Val Thorens<\/a><\/span>, France<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Val<\/a>

<\/span> Tyrolienne, Val Thorens. Webcam: Val Thorens tourism<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Temperature: -10\u00b0C to -4\u00b0C<\/span>
\n Snow @ top of ski area: 280cm<\/span>
\n Snow in resort: 160cm<\/span>
\n Current conditions: After scouring VT\u2019s webcams this lunchtime, this was the only one that wasn\u2019t a total white out of cloud and snow. It hasn\u2019t stopped 81\/81 of the pistes open, which are reportedly covered in fresh snow. Heavy snow is scheduled for Easter Sunday to form a nice base for the week after \u2013 great for burning off all those chocolate eggs\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zermatt<\/a><\/span>, Switzerland<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Schwarzee<\/a>

<\/span> Schwarzee, Zermatt. Webcam: Matterhorn Glacier Paradise<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n Current conditions: Light snow up at Klein Matterhorn this morning, then sunshine later on. Clear and sunny tomorrow, with a cloudy and snowy Good Friday to follow. The snow sticks around on the Theodor glacier, well into summer \u2013 so the end of the season should be fabulous.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lech<\/a><\/span> and Zurs<\/a><\/span>, Austria<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"Strolz<\/a>

<\/span> Strolz Sporthouse, Lech. Webcam: Lech-Zurs tourism<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n Snow @ top of ski area: 185cm<\/span>
\n Snow in resort: 105cm<\/span>
\n Current conditions: Keeping up Lech\u2019s rep for getting more snowfall than anywhere else in Austria (or the Alps for that matter) there\u2019s snow, snow, snow, then a bit more snow over the next few days, with temperatures dropping a few degrees over Thurs and Fri.

\n Current conditions: Sun today, and more sun tomorrow, showing off the best of the 4000m+ peaks that surround the village. But after that the weather man\u2019s predicting a good dousing of snow \u2013 and if previous years are anything to go by, the white stuff on the Allalin glacier will stay well into the summer for sunny July ski days.<\/span><\/p>\n
