I guess fairly unusual amount of snowfall over Zugspitze, in the
German Alps last night. I see from this mornings obs (10961) between
midnight at 0600 they picked up 35cm of fresh snow with a temperature
of around ms04. I can't find any stats of averages and extremes for
June. Anybody know?

They ski all year round in the summit corrie - not quite a glacier but
snow sticks there during the summer.

Zugspitze summit is shared with Austria - there used to be a border
post up there! When I was there the scientific station looked closed
so I'm guessing that obs are automatic with snow reports from the ski
centre. The rack and pinion railway from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the
lower summit station is mainly in dense forest and tunnel, so no
scenic train rides there! Better to take the cable car.
