Great videos. I was in Zermatt end of may and it was great. And landgraaf a few weeks ago like you! What did you find better. Zermatt. Or tignes. For summer skiing ?
Zermatt has a larger area, but the ski area will be closed once the weather is not so good (windy, cloudy, rainy). The lower piste from 3400 to 2900 (piste 80 and 73) was closed last summer due to the high temperature, in this case, you can just ski along with the t-bars. Now the lower part is still open but I don't think the snow in the lower part can last for a whole summer, normally early summer should be open. Tignes has a lower altitude and smaller area, but I'd say the snow condition is the same. The Grande Motte cable car is also closed sometimes due to the bad weather but it always has more chance to open than Zermatt. I'd suggest you check the weather forecast and the live piste map on their official websites before going.
@@yinze425 thanks very much! Where are you off to next? How does Hintertux compare as well ? I am thinking of going November early. But can’t decide between Zermatt and elsewhere.
@@MrThaibox123 I was at Hintertux early last November when there was a huge snowfall nearly 1m, while I can still remember Zermatt was closed due to the bad weather at that time, there was also strong wind (~60km/h) at Hintertux, the cable car was swinging but still in operation (you can check my video how strong the wind blew). I think early November the glacier resorts in Austria (hintertux, pitztal, stubai, kaunertal, solden, molltaler, kaprun) should be open and are more reliable than Zermatt
