There was heavy snow in places over the weekend, but now spring is back in control of the Alpine weather.

The forecast has changed, and we're due a wintry spell with our Easter eggs...

There'll be plenty of snow up high - and rain lower down - over the coming week.

More snow is expected next week, and temperatures will stay chilly for the time of year.

Soft, fluffy snow and a biting north-easterly wind are the two main themes this week.

A band of snow is currently working its way across the Alps and will be followed by a cold snap. It's going to feel more like January than March.

We've got two spells of snow to look forward to this week - with the chance of another significant cold snap on Sunday.

It's been a sunny start today in many resorts, but a mix of rain and snow is on the cards on Saturday and Sunday.

We've had a little bit of everything over the last few days - including some lovely weather for lunch...

Serre Chevalier, south of Grenoble, started the day with 40cm of fresh snow.
