Grande Casse Glacier, Mountain glacier in Pralognan-la-Vanoise, France.
The Grande Casse Glacier extends across the Vanoise Massif at an altitude of 3096 meters, featuring multiple crevasses and steep ice formations.
The glacier has served as a training ground for mountaineers since the early development of alpine climbing in the Vanoise region.
Mountain guides from the region maintain a strong tradition of leading expeditions through the glacier, sharing their knowledge with visiting climbers.
Climbers require crampons, ice axes, ropes, harnesses, and proper winter equipment when traversing the glacier between June and September.
The glacier connects Pralognan to the upper valley of Champagny through a technical route that passes beneath the North Face of Grande Casse.
