Early Holocene (Preboreal, ca. 9500 years BP). The glacier melted back
to a small valley glacier and left morains and glaciofluvial deposits. The Late-Würmian
moraines were degraded and covered with vegetation. At the position of the former end of
glacier originate a small mountain lake (Lai da Vons). Main vegetation types: Open subalpine
coniferous forests of Swiss stone pine, European larch and mountain pine. Ericaceae dwarf shrubs
(Rhododendron spec./alpenrose, Vaccinium myrtillus/blueberry, etc.),
Juniperus spec./juniper,
Salix spec./willow) and other shrubs; subalpine and alpine meadows.
