Plateau Rosa, Glacier at Plateau Rosa in Valais, Switzerland
Located at 3,500 meters elevation, Plateau Rosa extends across a vast ice field connected to the Theodul Glacier in the Pennine Alps
Since the 1980s, multiple lakes formed at the bottom of the Upper Theodul Glacier, with Theodulgletschersee spanning 7.76 hectares at 2,851 meters.
The glacier forms part of Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, connecting Swiss and Italian territories through a network of winter sports facilities.
Cable cars from Breuil-Cervinia transport visitors to Testa Grigia, providing access to 21 kilometers of prepared ski slopes throughout the year.
The name Rosa derives from the Valdôtain patois term Rouése, meaning ice, reflecting the regional linguistic heritage of this alpine location.
