Armancette Glacier, Alpine glacier in Les Contamines-Montjoie, France.
The Armancette Glacier flows from the Dômes de Miage at 3,700 meters altitude, creating a valley glacier formation in the Mont Blanc massif.
A significant avalanche occurred on April 9, 2023, affecting fifteen ski tourers and resulting in six fatalities on the glacier's established routes.
Local mountain guides regularly lead expeditions through the glacier, maintaining traditional Alpine mountaineering practices in the Mont Blanc region.
The glacier requires advanced mountaineering skills, proper equipment, and attention to weather forecasts, particularly during winter and spring seasons.
The melting waters of Armancette Glacier form the Nant d'Armancette stream and feed the Armancette Lake with glacial waters.
