Post by Silber » Wednesday 17 May 2006, 19:19

Guys,

please, give me some hints and links to glaciers open in the summer in Europe (with the indications of the period es. June 2 - Aug 31, or just the month if you don't know the exact period of opening)

Thanks a lot!!

Saas Fee opening

Saas Fee, which has the best glacier in Switzerland in my opinion (with good places for Extremecarving: see this), opens on 1st July...
