Stunning pictures of snow in Cape Town and surrounds

Beautiful pictures of the snow on Table Mountain and around the Western Cape

Updated: 30 August 2020

It was a chilly weekend for Cape Town, as snow fell all over the Western Cape. We gathered up some of the most beautiful images of snow blanketing the province, including Franschhoek, the Hottentots Hollands Mountain Range, Ceres, and even Table Mountain. 

TABLE MOUNTAIN LIKE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway shared this incredible footage of heavy snowfall at the top of the mountain.

Snow Patrol to the top of Bo-Swaarmoed Pass (outside Ceres) rewarded us with falling snow and a winter wonderland snowscape! Memories made with my Snow Queen @bronwyn_craul_mcdonald and fingers and toes numb. Do visit if you can, it’s worth the drive ☃️❄️☃️

Franschhoek now!! Lots of snow in the reserve today. It even snowed at the entrance gate so there's sure to be snow cover higher up for the rest of the weekend! #montrochelle #snowchasers #winterishere #franschhoek

Our wish was granted: good news for @snowreportsa and the Hottentots Holland Mountain peaks. Ideal conditions to #flyAirNature in tomorrow. You can still book if you want to a Sunday Funday zipline adventure: bit.ly/CCTBook
