Massive rock fall on Lake Garda: Huge rock thunders onto cars - shore road closed until further notice. Many experts blame the changing climate for the strikingly high number of rock falls.
Heavy rain washes the rocks free, permafrost in the summit regions thaws, and further down the alternation between frost and thaw blows away stones and rocks. At nearby Lake Ledro, a road was recently completely blocked by a broken rock. In nearby Valsugana, roads, rails and a cycle path were hit by falling rocks two weeks ago.
