In the Austrian Alps, summer ends early and abruptly – with unexpected snowfall

Early snowfall has forced farmers to bring their herds down from the high mountain pastures weeks ahead of schedule.

Normally, these cattle graze at altitudes of up to 2,000 meters, enjoying the fresh alpine air until autumn gently calls them back to the valleys. But this year, the call came early—accompanied by heavy snow.
