t's been a long time, but heavy snow continues to fall in many resorts in the Alps, causing a pleasant sigh of relief. the snow line is expected at an altitude of about 2000 meters. in some alpine regions, snow is expected at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,600 meters. 20 to 50 cm of fresh snow can fall in the Alps above 2000 meters Snow in the Alps is not uncommon. According to statistics, Arosa expects the first snow to fall. The first snow in the main cities of Switzerland falls much later. Zurich has the earliest average date of first snow, followed by Bern, Basel and Geneva. However, these dates are averages. Due to the warming of the climate, the date of the first snow is likely to become later and later Swiss authorities have warned of a high risk of avalanches in mountainous regions after heavy snowfall. In some eastern regions of the country, up to 80 centimeters of snow fell in 24 hours. Parts of the Homs Valley on the border with Italy were cut off due to blocked roads.
