A new Swiss snowfall record has been set at the Bortelsee station in the Simplon region, where an extraordinary 226 cm of snow fell within just two days, and a staggering 247 cm accumulated over a three-day period. This unprecedented snowfall event, recorded on April 15–17, 2025, now stands as the greatest volume of snow ever measured in such short timeframes in Switzerland. It surpasses the previous records: 215 cm in two days at the Bernina Pass in April 1999 and 229 cm in three days at Weissfluhjoch in February 1990.

There is still 1 hour to surpass the 130cm in 24 hours record
