Glacier des Alpes 1
Mountain Spot

Glacier des Alpes

Annecy

Walk right up to glaciers that are vanishing before our eyes. The Girose and Glacier Blanc spill down the Écrins massif like frozen rivers, but each summer they retreat further up the mountain. Come for the alpine hiking, stay for the sobering lesson in how quickly our planet is changing.
