Trélaporte Glacier, Alpine glacier in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France
The Trélaporte Glacier extends for 2.45 kilometers at an altitude of 2,700 meters, flowing eastward toward the Mer de Glace in the Mont-Blanc massif.
The glacier formation began during the last ice age, shaping the landscape through continuous movement and erosion of the surrounding mountain peaks.
Mountain guides from Chamonix regularly lead expeditions across this glacier, maintaining a centuries-old tradition of Alpine mountaineering and exploration.
Access to Trélaporte Glacier requires advanced mountaineering skills and equipment, with the Panoramic Mont-Blanc cable car providing the nearest transportation point.
The glacier converges with Tacul and Leschaux glaciers, creating a natural junction that feeds into the larger Mer de Glace system.
