Glacier des Bossons

Description

A natural site, the glacier descends in a direct line from the summit of Mont Blanc (4807), the highest Alpine peak, by a cascade of ice in levels up to the altitude of 1180 meters, the lowest in the Alps for the terminal tongue of a glacier.
The vertical drop of 3670 meters is the largest in the world, for a glacier descending in one piece from the top of the summit to its base.
Numerous viewpoints allow to admire the color and the purity of the ice, the lateral moraines, the seracs and sometimes the serac falls.
