Measurements of Bottom Temperatures of the winter Snow cover (BTS) constitute a wellestablished method to map ground freezing in winter and, hence, permafrost conditions in mountain areas. Besides information on BTS, miniature temperature loggers also provide information about, snow-cover duration, length of zero-curtain periods, onset of meltwater percolation, mean annual ground-surface temperatures, duration of ground freezing and thawing, etc. They enable a better insight into the complex high-alpine active-layer processes. Corresponding measurements are well-suited to test the snow-cover module implemented in the permafrost distribution model PERMEBAL. First results show that the main differences between the measured temperatures are caused by highly variable surface characteristics at the investigated sites and that the timing of the snow cover accumulation is very important for the interpretation of the BTS-measurements. These results provide information about possibilities and limitations of standardized long-term observations in mountain areas and their application to monitoring and modelling.
