Galdhøpiggen Sommerskisenter Weather Forecast
About
Galdhøpiggen Sommerskisenter is a summer-only ski area on the Juvass glacier in Norway's Jotunheimen, below Galdhøpiggen, the country's highest peak. A single T-bar climbs about 350 metres of glacier above 1,850 metres, opening dozens of marked runs from roughly May to November. It is one of only a handful of summer-only ski areas in the world, and its lift is anchored into ice that creeps downhill year-round.
