Europe’s last remaining summer ski resort, located on the Stilfser Joch glacier between Italy and Switzerland, has permanently closed due to extreme weather conditions this summer. The operator, Sifas, announced the decision on Saturday, citing an inability to continue operations safely. This summer’s unusually warm temperatures led to significant glacial melt, making skiing unsustainable. The resort had previously suspended operations temporarily as conditions deteriorated. The closure signals a concerning trend for glacier-based tourism, increasingly threatened by climate change. This development highlights the vulnerability of alpine environments and the impact of rising global temperatures on winter sports.
