Mountain Spot
⛰️Start early for clearer glacier views before afternoon haze
📸Compare photos from 1980s to see dramatic retreat
🥾Former Tuckett refuge now sits far from ice, shows scale of loss
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.
Alpine glacier hiking
Climate change witness
High-altitude landscapes
Contemplative nature experience
