A return to winter!? Powder snow! Today, it's like Niseko, Japan, with powder on the slopes! In Switzerland at this time of year, many people head towards Italy seeking warmth, so the slopes are actually quite empty. The forecast for good weather starts tomorrow. The Villars-Gryon-Diablerets ski resort is open until April 12th!

The ski season in Villars, Switzerland, continues through March, and recent snowfall has returned the slopes to winter conditions. Spring is a recommended time to ski, with fewer crowds and longer daylight hours, allowing for a leisurely day of skiing. Enjoying lunch or drinks on a terrace, a quintessential European ski experience, is also a major draw. For those concerned about spring snow conditions, you can still enjoy good snow at Glacier 3000. The Villars ski resort is scheduled to be open until April 11th, so you can fully enjoy spring skiing. Please feel free to contact us.

Switzerland is now in the season of pleasant autumn breezes. In my area, where I live at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level, I can see white breath when I step outside in the morning.
