Southern Norway is experiencing its lowest snow levels in over a century, with popular Easter destinations like Geilo and Hemsedal struggling to maintain winter activities.
Mild weather and scarce precipitation have shortened the snow season by a month over the past century, according to climate researchers.
Several tourist lodges, including Sikkilsdalseter near Jotunheimen, have been forced to close due to insufficient snow.
While some high-altitude areas still offer skiing, many lower regions are bare, with green slopes and open streams.
Meanwhile, Northern Norway has seen a snow-rich winter, with some areas boasting over three meters of snow.
The stark contrast highlights the growing impact of climate change on Norway's winter tourism.
