As the city is south of the snow line, it rarely receives snow in winter.
Inland, the snow line in summer is at an altitude of about 300mft 0.
Molluscs such as the wood snail live up the snow line.
The snow line lies at about above sea level, and glaciers are found on the northern face at.
They are also called snow parrots because they are usually found only at high altitudes (i.e. above the snow line).
The snow line during the last glacial advance was lowered approximately 1200 m below the present snow line (3700 m).
Additionally, the runoff facilitates fertile plant life below the snow line, where vineyards and pine, oak, and poplar trees are abundant.
The actual snow line may seasonally be significantly lower.
