La Plagne is pictured above this morning. <br /> <br /> It's especially good news for those glacier areas opening over the next 24 hours including Solden this morning and two more Austrian resorts, the Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun and the Stubai near Innsbruck tomorrow. They'll join the five glaciers already open in Austria, Italy and Switzerland. French resorts aren't expected to start opening until the latter half of next month. <br /> <br /> There have not been the usual early autumn snowfalls at altitude so far this year, just a few light dustings, mostly above 2,500m, so ski areas will be hoping this marks the start off a change to more wintry weather. <br /> <br /> Passo Stelvio, one of the glaciers that's already open, is pictured this morning below. <br /> <br /> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/j2ski/albums/u44159/20261009/Italy_Passo_Stelvio_10_September_3" border="0" class="mpimg" /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21684/164009.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21684/164009.page Fri, 9 Oct 2026 06:18:24 GMT
