And even in August, the 21 kilometres of pistes there still offer perfect conditions for tackling a descent or two. However, not only piste lovers but also freestyle fans get their money&#8217;s worth in the shadow of the Swiss Confederation&#8217;s Alpine landmark.

Les 2 Alpes (France)<\/h2>\n<p>Ski holidaymakers will not only find snow-sure glaciers in Austria and Switzerland, but also in France. Here, high-altitude glacier ski areas allow skiing well into the summer. Another advantage: thanks to the southerly location, the Mediterranean influence can be felt every year in the sun-kissed French Alps. This is exactly what you can feel in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/france\/les_2_alpes\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Les 2 Alpes glacier ski area<\/a> with around 200 kilometres of pistes, the majority of which are on the Glacier de la Girose or the Glacier de Mantel. The highest point of the ski area is at 3,560 metres, ideal conditions for months and months of skiing from the beginning of December to the end of June. The icing on the cake of the sunny glacier skiing experience is the impressive view of the majestic summit of Mont Blanc (4,809 m) from the mountain station at any time of year.

There are still a total of 32 glacier ski areas in Europe&#8217;s largest high mountain region.<\/p>\n<h3>Where is the largest glacier ski area in Austria?<\/h3>\n<p>Austria&#8217;s largest glacier ski area is located on the Stubai Glacier. Around 42 kilometres of pistes (65 km including ski routes) are available to winter sports enthusiasts here every year, usually from autumn to the beginning of June. The ski area also boasts an altitude of up to 3,210 metres.<\/p>\n<h3>How high is the highest ski resort in the Alps?<\/h3>\n<p>The highest ski area in the Alps is also the highest glacier ski area: the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Winter sports enthusiasts can ski and snowboard up to an altitude of 3,883 metres in the local ski area of the prestigious resort of Zermatt. In the high season in winter, a total of over 200 kilometres of pistes are available here in Switzerland, extending across the border to Italy. As a year-round ski area, the conditions on the Matterhorn are still so good in midsummer that 21 kilometres of pistes remain open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to skiing or booking a skiing holiday, one topic is often in focus: snow reliability.
