As hot air rises, there is less pressure pushing down on it. As a result, the rising air expands. This causes the air to cool. Thinner air + lower pressure = colder conditions. Water vapors in the air then turn to ice (snow) as the it meets the colder air and falls upon the mountain top

When and where does it snow in Europe?

It snows in many different parts of Europe, too many to mention. High areas, like the Alps and other major mountain ranges, and the areas furthest north which are close to or in the Arctic Circle are places that definitely get snow. The winter is obviously when it snows most. Parts of Europe may get snow some winters, but not every winter. Some parts get little or snow, like in the warm areas of the south of Europe.
