Valle Brembana

[kari]

Ciao a tutti,

I decided to use english, as my italian is not very good...anyhow, how is snow situation in Val Brembana at the moment? Are there allready any snow? I have heard that e.g in Austria and Swiss the season start has been incredible: more snow than in past 10 years.

I'm asking because I'm coming from Espoo, Finland to Bergamo, Italia for the whole winter. I'm passionate snowboarder and therefore like to hear, if snow situation seems to be good or not.

Thanks for you thoughts!

Hi Kari,

Actually there is not any snow in our mountain... the Alps are like a wall and stoped the clouds in Austria and Swiss ...
However don't worry the season'll start on the 7 of December and our Meteo Forecast says that next wednesday the withe lady should arrive in our mountains(over than 1 meter at 2000 m.) ....



You can follow the situation by our webcam: http://www.orobiemeteo.com/eventi.html
