The summer skiing season in the Alps got off to a good start after heavy snow in the late season and spring in April and May.
It was followed by cold temperatures and further snowfall into June.
- More snow in the Alps boosts summer glacier skiing
- Heavy snow at altitude in the Alps
- Summer skiing delayed in Italian resort as too much snow
The temperature is set to warn up over coming days with the freezing level going to over 4,000m.
