Glacier de Freydane, Alpine glacier in Belledonne Massif, France.

The Freydane Glacier sits above Lac Blanc at 2,161 meters elevation, below the Three Peaks of Belledonne in the French Alps.

Since the mid-19th century, this glacier has experienced continuous reduction in size due to rising temperatures and decreased snowfall in the Alps.

The glacier exists within a Natura 2000 protected zone, emphasizing the natural heritage preservation efforts in the French Alpine region.

Hikers can access the glacier through marked trails from Chamrousse, with regular bus connections available from the city of Grenoble.

This glacier contains the only crevassed ice formation in the entire Belledonne mountain range, positioned at coordinates 45°10'15''N and 5°59'10''E.
