> The Zillertaler Höhenstraße is fully closed following heavy overnight snow in Tyrol as winter conditions and stormy winds impact the Alps.

The **Zillertaler Höhenstraße** is now completely closed to traffic following significant snowfall in the higher elevations of **Tyrol** overnight Friday. Authorities extended an initial partial closure to cover the entire route as winter conditions impacted travel.

On Saturday, the **Unwetterzentrale** reported a mix of sun and clouds in the lowlands with highs between 7 and 13 degrees Celsius. A brisk west wind persisted throughout the day, while heavy rain is forecast to spread eastward across the **Alps** this Sunday.

The weather shift brings strong south foehn winds to Tyrolean valleys and stormy gusts to the eastern Alps by Sunday evening. While Monday remains mostly dry, rain will return to the northern Alps on Tuesday morning as western regions see sunny conditions.
