Winter is returning this week
It's been lovely and sunny in Alpe d'Huez over the weekend but conditions on the slopes are still very good thanks to the flurries of snow we had last week.
It's all set to change this week, though, with loads of snow on the forecast starting on Tuesday evening and all the way into Saturday. Mid- and high mountain could be looking at 80cm of fresh snow this week.
