Grand Pisaillas Glacier, Alpine glacier in Bonneval-sur-Arc, France
The Grand Pisaillas Glacier extends across the western face of Aiguille Pers and Pointe du Montet peaks at 3,200 meters elevation in the Graian Alps.
The glacier, previously known as Glacier du Grand Pissaillas, has shaped the Haute-Maurienne valley through centuries of ice movement and geological processes.
The glacier forms part of Vanoise National Park, representing the connection between French Alpine communities and their mountain environment.
Visitors can access the glacier via two ski lifts: the Cascade detachable chairlift and the Les Montets drag lift, which reaches 3,197 meters.
The glacier maintains skiing activities during summer months from mid-June to mid-July, while facing significant ice loss in the 21st century.
