But Austria and eastern Switzerland will still get the lion's share of the white stuff.

The weather is unlikely to change before Sunday afternoon.

The north-eastern quarter of the Alps has turned wintry, while the sun shines elsewhere.

As ever, altitude is your ally at this time of year.

But it will be raining lower down this week. Thank goodness a colder spell is on its way...

Mother Nature has hit the pause button. But cooler weather should come next week.

A wintry weekend has been followed by a crazy spell of torrential rain and heavy snow at altitude.

Suddenly, it's going to look a lot like winter in the Alps...
