Basòdino Glacier, Alpine glacier in Ticino, Switzerland.

The Basòdino Glacier extends across 2 square kilometers of the Lepontine Alps, featuring crevasses and an exposed summit at 3,273 meters elevation.

The glacier has diminished significantly over 150 years, retreating approximately 1,400 meters and splitting into two sections in 2008.

Researchers and scientists regularly study this glacier to document climate patterns and environmental changes in the Alpine region south of the Alps.

Visitors can reach the glacier during summer months using the San Carlo-Robiei cable car, which provides direct access to the Bavona Valley floor.

The temperature throughout this temperate glacier remains constant at 0°C, with water present and an average thickness ranging from 15 to 40 meters.
