Crans Montana Opened For Skiing in July
Crans Montana Opened For Skiing in July
Published : 23-Jul-2016 08:42
Crans Montana Ski & Golf in Switzerland has said it opened for glacier skiing on one weekend only earlier this month and published the pic above as proof, commenting, "Thanks to good snow conditions on the glacier at an altitude of 3,000 metres, the Crans-Montana ski lift company (CMA) enabled skiers to enjoy fantastic downhill fun under bright summer sun. It was possible to ski, play golf and enjoy the beach and the lake in the same day."
Although Crans Montana is no longer open for snowsports, Saas Fee has since re-opened, last weekend, for its nine month ski season, one of the world's longest, through to Spring 2017.
It joins Zermatt as the two Swiss glacier ski areas currently open, with Zermatt one of two areas worldwide(along with Austria's Hintertux) that tries to open every day of the year, weather permitting.
Both open Swiss areas report over a 2m base on their glacier slopes having had significant fresh July snowfalls in the past few weeks.
