Grande Ghiacciaio di Verra, Alpine glacier in Val d'Ayas, Italy

The Grande Ghiacciaio di Verra extends across the southern side of Monte Rosa massif, surrounded by peaks including Breithorn, Polluce, and Castore.

The glacier's name originates from Piedmont-Sardinia kingdom registers, where the final 'z' in Verraz remained silent according to Franco-Provençal language patterns.

The glacier forms the source of the Evançon stream, which flows through Val d'Ayas, supporting local water resources and alpine activities.

A marked trail from Rifugio Mezzalama leads to the glacier in twenty minutes, with yellow circular signs and small totems guiding visitors.

The glacier splits into Grande and Piccolo sections by the black rock spur of Rifugio Guide d'Ayas at Lambronecca.
