"Sometimes it snows in April"





That was Prince's wonderful ballad in the 1980s, with harmonies that still let my spine tingle.
Salzburg is different: sometimes it snows in July. Altitudes of above 2,400m / 7,200ft above sea level; loads of snow in the morning on Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Yet by mid-afternoon a 'touring' colleague sent photos from his mobile from right there; all blue from the ultraviolet, road clear, sunshine and almost like midwinter at the sides of the road.
You'd love to go there right now? Have a look at the webcams first! Kind regards to Grossglockner Hochalpenstrassen AG, the company that operates the road as well as the webcams.
