Large waterfalls of melted ice are pouring down the Indren glacier, on the Monte Rosa massif, thanks to the high temperatures of these days even at high altitude. In several areas, the tongue of the glacier appears covered with stones and gravel, while glacial streams form real lakes. The freezing level was 5204 meters at 2 pm on Saturday 10 August, according to data recorded by the Cuneo-Levaldigi weather station. Among the many visitors, there are those who are ready to face a crossing on the ice towards the refuges with full backpacks and crampons on foot, and those who simply enjoy the view before taking the cable car back to town. What they all have in common, however, is light clothing, despite the 3200 meters of altitude.
