Great Verra’s Glacier

This glacier doesn’t represent a real aim, it’s just a obligatory stay on the way to Lambronecca. Nevertheless, the particular and spectacular beauty of the Glacier lead me to write also these pages, which are purely contemplative: anyone who had the chance to see it didn’t miss the occasion to admire its beauty.

More in details, the Verra’s Glacier starts just over refuge Mezzalama, and it’s devided in two parts: Great and Little Glacier by the rock where lays the Lambronecca; it’s marked off, leftwards, by Rollin’s Hump, and northwards by the 4000 meters high Breithorn Peak, at swiss’ borders. Personally, every summer I fund ashtonising the unaspected appearance of the glacier, after a walk between the rocks. Reaching the Glacier isn’t difficult at all; a lot of trekkers come from Mezzalama using no. 7 path; they find impossible to continue to Lambronecca, and choose to relax a while on the big, smooth rocks which surrounds the lower part of the glacier. It’s also possible to walk on it using just a simple mountain racket: the water you’ll find there isinimitable! Finally, here you are some pictures taken durin 2003 summer, the 27^th of August precisely; they’re my own tribute to that beautiful scenario. They don’t need any comments.
