The Vedretta del Lupo extends over steep terrain at an altitude of 3,006 meters, featuring extensive ice formations and natural crevasses throughout its surface.

Scientists have documented significant changes in the glacier's mass over recent decades, providing valuable data about environmental transformations in the Western Rhaetian Alps.
