The Himalayas receive more snowfall than the Alps primarily due to their higher elevation and greater atmospheric moisture. The Himalayas are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world, which allows them to capture more moisture-laden air from the Indian monsoon. Additionally, the geographical position of the Himalayas exposes them to more intense weather systems, resulting in increased precipitation. In contrast, the Alps, while also mountainous, are lower in elevation and experience less moisture from the surrounding climate.
