On the new adventure trail, visitors can expect spectacular impressions directly on the glacier and lots of knowledge about this natural wonder. With the help of a leporello, the change of the glacier and the visible changes in the sensitive Alpine region are explained. The Glacier Experience Trail is a supplement to the theoretically imparted knowledge in the visitor centre at the Diavolezza valley station.
