The glaciers of Adamello-Presanella groupVal Rendena is nestled in a

beatiful landscape with the majstic Brenta group to east and the rocky snow- covered peaks of the Adamello-Presanella Group to the west.

The area is an extremely articulated and diversified zone, with the spectacular uniquiness of its mountains landscape at its heart and the remarkable geological and geomorphological diversity of the 2 mountains ranges that dominate it.

In contrast with the peaks and ridges that dominate the Brenta and Adamello-presanella ranges, there are the gentler more ralling features of the terraces of Val di Non, Bleggio and Banale.

Dolomitic rocky sides surround the glaciers of Adamello on the North side.

This glaciers is fed by awalondes that fall from the surrosanding rocky sides.

Particularly more than 250 metres.impressive and significant are the

erosion and accumulation glacial morphologies that characterize the glaciers surraundings.

The Adamello-Presanellais about 5 km wide a with a surface of more than 15km², this glaciers can be deep 250 metres

The glacier provide the water for the famous Nardis water fall in Genova valley near Pinzolo.

The largest glaciers of Presanella are: vedretta Presena and vedretta della Presanella.
