Snow cover controls the ground thermal regime and periglacial processes. There is correlation between days < 0 °C and altitude. Not with days <− 2 °C. Freeze-thaw cycles happen mainly in autumn and spring. Spring snowmelt reactivates periglacial and nival processes between 0.3 and 0.7 m depth. There is a relation between ground temperatures and periglacial landforms.
