Vedretta del Lupo

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.

Local mountain guides share knowledge of alpine navigation and glacier safety techniques, passing traditional skills to new generations of mountaineers visiting this area.

The glacier is accessible through marked trails from Chiareggio, requiring approximately two hours of hiking and proper mountain equipment for safe exploration.
