About Durmstrang again...
To sum it all up:
Thanks everyone for your replies and great links and information, that was fun!
I had overlooked that Durmstrang has to be in Europe, according to Hermione's book. So Siberia is out of the question.
Norway fits the description. So would the Norhtern part of the Ural, which is in Russia. There even is an island which is part of the Ural chain and is cold, North and with mountains and glaciers. So that could be 'it' as well.
One of the links, however, makes a good point about the germanic connection, and with the word Durmstrang/Sturm und Drang. So Norway does make a bit more sense to me, it has the type of glaciers and mountains I need for the story, so all is set.
Thank you very much again!
