Glacier de Talèfre, Glacier in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France
The Glacier de Talèfre extends across the Mont Blanc massif, reaching an altitude of 2,300 meters within the Arve valley of the French Alps.
During the Little Ice Age, this glacier formed a union with the Leschaux and Tacul glaciers, contributing to the formation of the Mer de Glace system.
The glacier and its surrounding peaks have influenced generations of French mountaineers who developed climbing techniques and documented their alpine expeditions.
Access to the glacier requires a combination of using the Montenvers railway and hiking through marked trails in the Mont Blanc region.
At the center of the glacial cirque stands the Jardin de Talèfre, a rocky outcrop that divides the ice flow into separate sections.
