Glacier Blanc

Highlight • Other

From here you have a view of the Glacier Blanc. This glacier has been receding faster and faster in recent years. The erosion of the rock where the glacier used to be can be clearly seen in the rock walls.

August 16, 2023, #32 🇨🇵 Massif des Écrins: Wanderung zum Glacier Blanc

Even if we humans walk this path like ants on an ant trail: It was fantastic. These views, these dimensions, the rushing of the glacial river, the varied, strenuous path (like climbing permanent stairs only more unevenly), partly with via ferratas and ropes. At the top we stopped at the Refuge du Glacier Blanc, then we started the demanding way back. I'm not used to that, you just let it run downhill😂.

From refuge Cézanne to refuge du Glacier Blanc, 9km there and back. 670m climbing.

A must-see in the Écrins National Park. Accordingly overflowing.
