Another Austrian glacier ski area ended its 25-26 season last weekend after eight months, but a second Norwegian summer ski glacier opened for its 2026 season in Scandinavia, so Europe remains on seven areas open. That should be the case after the weekend too, as although another glacier is set to close, another summer ski destination opening will again cancel that out. With the start of meteorological summer time next week, temperatures continue to rise, with the freezing point starting to move above most alpine peaks in the afternoons now.
