Modelling the Future of Glacier Skiing in High-Altitude Alpine Resorts

Glaciology (Prof. Farinotti)

Glaciers worldwide are retreating due to climate change, leading to diverse consequences such as sea level rise, changes in water availability, increased natural hazards, and disruptions to tourism. In the European Alps, glaciers are a key attraction, drawing millions of visitors annually. One of the touristic attractivities of glaciers is their role in skiing. However, climate change in and especially recent extreme negative mass balance years have significantly impacted summer skiing (e.g., Abegg and Mayer, 2023). This MSc project aims to assess the effects of climate change on glacier-based ski resorts across the Alps. Potential study sites include Hintertux, Les Deux Alpes, Saas Fee, and Tignes, though other locations may also be considered.
