Snow in the Pyrenees

Snow in the Pyrenees

Published : 30-Jan-2012 09:35



There's been good news over the past 72 hours for resorts in the southern Alps and Pyrenees which had been doing OK, in most cases, for snow cover this winter but were missing the spectacular accumulations reported in the Northern Alps.

That's changed to some extent since Saturday with falls of up to 105cm reported at resorts in France, Andorra and Spain with temperatures dropping as low as -12C

The result, the resorts marketing departments were quick to advise J2ski news office with a rapid battery of press releases, is "powder!"

The biggest fall of just over a metre was reported by the up market Spanish resort of Baqueira Beret, a favourite of the country's royal family.

The snowfall isn't just limited to the Pyrenees but has continued along the Mediterranean coast hitting resorts in the French and Italian southern Alps, including Isola 2000, Serre Chevalier and Limone.
