Vedretta di Scais, Alpine glacier in Orobie Alps, Lombardy, Italy
The Vedretta di Scais extends between 2450 and 2900 meters altitude, positioned between Pizzo Redorta and Punta Scais peaks in the eastern Italian Alps.
The glacier covered the entire Scais valley during the early 19th century and connected with the Vedretta di Porola during the Little Ice Age.
The term vedretta originates from Lombard and Romansh languages, representing the local Alpine communities' historical connection to these ice formations.
Access to the glacier requires specialized equipment and mountaineering knowledge, with summer months offering the most stable conditions for exploration.
The glacier maintains its ice mass through northern exposure and specific weather patterns, despite receiving limited precipitation throughout the year.
