As seen from the Boval hut (Swiss Alpine Club), Vadret Pers descends towards and merges with Vadret da Morteratsch (below). The thinning of Vadret Pers is very much in evidence: Its left side (orographic right) no longer reaches Morteratsch. In the future Vadret Pers may detach itself entirely from Morteratsch (photos Joachim Wolff).
