Doesn't the Marmolada tragedy worry the operators of the Stelvio glacier?

The statements by Umberto Capitani, director of Sifas, to Tele Sondrio News: the conditions of the Stelvio glacier, all in all, are good. You continue to ski regularly.

After the tragedy of the Marmolada, one wonders what the situation is on the glaciers. In this regard, Tele Sondrio News interviewed Umberto Capitani, director of the company that manages the ski lifts on the Stelvio, to understand what the conditions on the glacier are and how the summer ski season is proceeding. "The situation is not the best, but it is not dramatic either. In the last few days the conditions have improved because there is less humidity. In the month of June, however, there was high humidity up to very high altitudes and the thermal 0 it has moved over 4000 meters. On the glacier there is an average of 500-600 people a day. We are in line with other years. We have guests from all over Europe and overseas. There are several French, Italians, Czechoslovakians, Poles, Several nationalities are training with us "explains Umberto Capitani. "What happened on the Marmolada is dramatic, but you can't close everything. You have to live with climate change as it has always been in the past. Surely you have to learn to live in a different way and organize situations in a different way" concludes Umberto Capitani. READ ALSO: July 10 will be the last day of summer skiing in Les 2 Alpes

La Valmalenco offre uno dei comprensori sciistici più panoramici della Valtellina, sviluppato principalmente nella conca dell’Alpe Palù e circondato dalle grandi montagne del gruppo del Bernina. Boschi di conifere, ampi pendii in quota e il lago Palù compongono un ambiente alpino ancora relativamente integro, con vedute che spaziano verso il Pizzo Scalino, il Monte Disgrazia e le cime che separano la valle dall’Engadina.
