Into From May to October you can use the ski lifts for hiking in shelters at high altitude, the walks in the beautiful the Texel Group Nature Park and take a dip in prehistory visiting the place of discovery of Ötzi, the corpse found abandoned 20 years ago by two German tourists emerged from ice in excellent condition. A finding that may also be attributed to the melting of the snow.
Into " The retreat of the glaciers, as a result of the climate, indirectly causes suffering of tourism and economic ," says glaciologist Roberto Dinale to the newspaper 'Adige. " Since 1850 the glaciers retreated and a third in the last 30 years so more sudden. Forecasts for the future are not rosy ," adds Dinale which provides closures in the next 10-15 years for summer skiing even in adjoining districts, like the Stelvio or the Tonale, that "resist more or less depending on their exposure and altitude."
Into To try to avoid the phenomenon last summer had tried to cover part of the glacier of Val Senales with the sheets as well as you do it with good results on many Austrian and Swiss Glaciers and Presena, to prevent erosion, but overall the operation was regarded as uneconomic and can not be postponed for long periods.
Into Moreover, even from the point of view of the cable cars, the glaciers summer tend to be visited only by a few more ski clubs and athletes of the national teams. According to the leaders of the plants of South Tyrol Hochjochferner families and groups of skiers who practiced summer skiing in recent decades have been almost completely extinct.
Into Many will remember last August, due to the excessive heat at high altitude, the fall from the glacier of the Ortler of the cross, the symbol of the highest mountain in the province of Bolzano. For winter sports enthusiasts the hot summer of 2012 will instead be remembered for having the final word on summer skiing in South Tyrol.
