Glacier de Péclet, Alpine glacier in Les Belleville, France

The Péclet Glacier flows down the western face of Aiguille de Péclet, consisting of two ice masses divided by the Tête Ronde ridge.

The northern section of the glacier supported summer skiing activities until 2001, when changing conditions led to the discontinuation of this practice.

The glacier remains an essential feature of the Vanoise massif, drawing mountaineers and winter sports participants throughout the colder months.

Access to the glacier requires specialized equipment including harnesses and ice axes, with the funitel lift providing the primary transportation route.

The lower section of the glacier contains a stone coverage that currently reduces the ice melting rate, extending its preservation period.
