Pré de Bar glacier, Valley glacier in Courmayeur, Italy

The Pré de Bar glacier flows over 3.6 kilometers between Mont Dolent and Aiguille de Triolet, reaching altitudes from 2100 to 3550 meters.

The glacier formation has shaped the physical geography of the Aosta Valley region through millennia of ice movements and natural processes.

Local mountain guides regularly lead expeditions to the glacier, sharing their expertise about Alpine environments and glacier navigation techniques.

The Rifugio Elena mountain hut near the glacier provides accommodation and serves as a starting point for hiking expeditions in the area.

Scientists monitor this glacier's movements and size variations as an environmental indicator, measuring changes in its 3-square-kilometer surface area.
