Germany’s last ski lift on a glacier falls victim to climate change A ski lift atop Germany's highest mountain is being torn down — not because it's worn out, but because the glacier beneath it has melted away. After more than 50 years of service, demolition has begun on the Zugspitze's Schneeferner glacier, where the ski slope has simply disappeared due to rising temperatures. It’s a stark reminder that climate change isn't a distant threat. In the Alps, it's already reshaping the landscape — and the livelihoods that depend on it. #Zugspitze #Germany #Glaciers #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Alps #ClimateCrisis #Environment
