Cave of the Ice Moncodeno sent on November 23, 2013 (19:17) by Giosa. 6 comments, 1474 views.

Fotocamera Minolta Dimage7( una compattona) La foto è stata scattata nel 2007 all'interno di una grotta a pozzo chiamata Ghiacciaia del Moncodeno che si trova sul versante ovest del Grignone (LC). La Ghiacciaia di Moncodeno è una grotta a pozzo che a causa della sua particolare conformazione e posizione conserva anche nella stagione estiva ghiaccio e neve, utilizzati un tempo per rifornire tutta la zona e dissetare il bestiame in caso di siccità. Sporgendosi oltre il salto di roccia, si possono osservare le stalagmiti di ghiaccio (che attirarono anche l'attenzione di Leonardo da Vinci). L'imbocco della Ghiacciaia è raggiungibile senza difficoltà; più complessa invece risulta la visita speleologica in quanto richiede un'adeguata attrezzatura.

I posted this picture although not excellent (anzi..) Because the ice is a fascinating place photographically.
Council to those interested, to visit in the early spring when the ice formations are more in number and more imposing. The visit takes attention and a minimum of equipment, just a rope 25 meters from a torch and helmet.

Hello,
You have no idea if it is feasible now or completely 'tapped' by the snow?

@ Fabius: There have not been recently, but this should be the best time to ice formations.
THE "hole" entrance is large and even in the snow, there should be no problem, the descent is facilitated by an iron staircase, also the entrance there are eyelets resin for safety.
The ice on the bottom over the last few years he has receded and the scale does not reach the bottom, for a safety rope door.
These are the input coordinates: N 45 ° 58,250 E 009 ° 22,640.
For photos a flash is necessary.

I was there today.
The stalagmites are small, the winter was not cold enough.
