Presena Glacier, Alpine glacier in Trentino-Lombardy, Italy
The Presena Glacier extends across an elevation of 3,069 meters between Val di Sole and Valle Camonica, offering winter sports opportunities from November to May.
The glacier marked the border between Italy and Austria-Hungary during World War I, with military structures still visible in the surrounding landscape.
The Ice Music Festival and Water Music Festival take place near the glacier to highlight water conservation and climate change effects on Alpine environments.
Two cable car systems transport visitors to the glacier summit in 12 minutes, with the newer Presena Cable car accommodating 1,500 passengers per hour.
Workers install 100,000 square meters of white geotextile tarps each summer since 2008 to reduce ice melting by reflecting sunlight from the glacier surface.
