According to the famous legend, where the Rutor glacier stands today, there were once lush pastures.

A rich landowner owned all the land and cattle. Jesus, to test him, came to him in the guise of an old beggar, just at the time of milking. He approached him and asked for some milk. The master, although he had a large quantity, ordered his workers to pour it all on the ground rather than give some to the old man. From that day on, the meadows, which had initially turned white from the spilt milk, remained white forever because it began to snow and did not stop until the snow submerged all the possessions and their master. Today that ancient pastureland is a perennial glacier.
