Indren Glacier, Alpine glacier in Monte Rosa massif, Italy
The Indren Glacier extends from the basin between Vincent Pyramid and Punta Giordani, covering 0.92 square kilometers at elevations between 4,052 and 3,106 meters.
In the early 1960s, engineer Giorgio Rolandi designed ski lifts from Alagna through Zaroltu and Bocchetta delle Pisse to reach Punta Indren at 3,260 meters.
The glacier location near Gressoney-La-Trinité marks a significant point for mountaineering expeditions heading toward the Regina Margherita mountain hut and other Alpine destinations.
A modern cable car system, installed in 2009 from Passo dei Salati, provides direct access to the glacier and facilitates travel to Mantova and Gnifetti mountain shelters.
The glacier's southern exposure and recent retreat have created natural ice lakes known as Indren Lakes, modifying the Alpine landscape at high altitude.
