FAQ about snow statistics Italy
How much snow falls in Italy?
In the high mountains on the southern side of the Alps in Italy, snowfall ensures ideal slope conditions every winter. This was once again the case in the 2025/26 season. The Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche ski resort enjoyed the most fresh snowfall here. Between the start of October and the end of March, a total of 9.55 m of snow fell there. Second place on the fresh snow podium went to the Monterosa Ski – 3 Valli ski resort, with 9.30 m. The Courmayeur ski resort took the ‘bronze’ with 9.28 m of fresh snow.
Where does the most snow fall worldwide?
The fact is that historically, the Alps have had the most snowfall in winter worldwide. However, this particular mountain range is not located in Europe, but in Asia. The snowiest region in the world is in the west of the Japanese main island of Honshu. Here in the Japanese Alps, an incredible 30 and 38 metres of fresh snow falls on average every year!
When did the most snow fall in the Italian Alps?
The people of Capracotta (1,421 m) will not soon forget 11 March 2015. Since then, the small village in the province of Isernia in central Italy has been in the Guinness Book of Records. On this day, 2.56 metres of fresh snow fell here in just 18 hours! Capracotta thus replaced the old world record holder for the amount of fresh snow, Silver Lake. In 1921, 1.93 metres of fresh snow fell in the town in the US state of Colorado in the Rocky Mountains – albeit within 24 hours.
