More September Snowfall High in the Alps and Dolomites
Login
There's been further snowfall in the past 24 hours on high slopes in the Alps, following similar mostly light but wet snow accumulations above about 2,500m altitudes to snowfalls reported on high slopes last Thursday.
Whilst most snowfalls at the end of last week appeared to be particularly from the western Alps, the latest falls have seen some of the first falls on high slopes on the Dolomites and more southerly and easterly locations.
Among those reporting snowfall were Austria's Pitztal glacier, which is due to start its 24-25 season in just over a fortnight on the last weekend of the month and the Kaunertal, opening at the start of October.
Italy's Passo Stelvio summer ski area also saw up to 20cm of fresh snow, as did Sulden (pictured below), which aims to open in late October for its 24-25 season. The Molltal glacier is pictured top.
