Rising temperatures and the loss of cold conditions continue to lead to declining snow and ice cover, thawing of frozen ground, and associated terrestrial ecosystem changes and altered water cycling.

The climate is an interior subalpine type, and the mean annual temperature is -0.7 to -0.3°C. Average temperatures top 10°C for only one month a year, although up to three months is possible at medium elevations. Mean annual precipitation is 460 to 700 mm with 35 to 60% falling as snow.
