First Snowfalls of Autumn

It's here! Autumn brings us the first snowfall of 2025.

Autumn has just begun, and it's already given us the best news: the first significant snowfall of the preseason has already covered the peaks of our mountains! A cold front has caused a sharp drop in temperatures, turning the highest peaks of the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada white, sparking excitement for all ski and snowboard enthusiasts. This winter appetizer, which occurred at the end of September, is the sign we've all been waiting for. Although it's still too early to talk about the slopes opening, the snow has made an appearance, reminding us that the 2025-2026 ski season is getting closer.

Where exactly has it snowed in Spain?

Snowfall has been concentrated at high altitudes, above 2,200 meters. The ski resorts and areas that have received this first layer of snow are: Aragonese Pyrenees: Formigal, Astún and Cerler. Catalan Pyrenees: Baqueira Beret. Sierra Nevada: The highest areas of the Granada resort. Andorra and French Pyrenees: Significant snowfall has also been recorded.

Does this mean the ski season is coming early?

This is the question we're all asking ourselves. The answer is: calm. These first snowfalls are excellent news and lay a good foundation for winter, but they don't mean the seasons will soon reopen. Temperatures will rise again in the coming days, and much of this snow is likely to melt. However, this phenomenon helps cool the ground and prepare the mountains for the heavier snowfall that will arrive with the winter cold. The official opening date for most resorts is still scheduled for late November or early December.
