Hitting the alps in the summer

Im going to be hitting up les deux alpes for 10 days. Its going to be RAAAD

Verbier and Laax are closed in the summer. Verbier has fuck for a glacier.

Talking july-august...

France has Les 2 Alpes and Tignes. Don't go to Tignes for park, it will be melted away in August. Les 2 Alpes is excellent at that time, just very little snow, lots of rocks. But it's uncrowded, and the Les 2 Alpes summerpark matches Snowpark NZ in terms of size and features.

Switzerland is your best bet for august, you have Zermatt and Saas-Fee. Both have excellent parks, though small, but uncrowded, very expensive though. These parks are so high that the snow remains excellent in august, better than many winter parks in Europe, and they usually get fresh snow in August. However, if it storms, the glaciers are closed, it happens that the glacier is closed for 5 consecutive days.

Austria will have Hintertux and Kitzsteinhorn open with parks in August. But the low altitude of these glaciers combined with the lack of snow, I wouln't bet on it. Dachstein and Kaunertal are closed by then.


All from a post from Michael BC, look at the searchbar. some sick glaciers to be had in europe, do the research before you go anywhere

Ill be in Deux alpes in late june- early july. No idea where im staying though... Ill have that planned by tomorrow tho

Thanks for the heads up...
