Ghiacciaio della Tribolazione

The Tribolazione glacier spreads across 600 hectares with an elevation range from 4,061 meters down to 2,580 meters in the northern face.

During Victor Emmanuel II's reign, the glacier merged with Grand Croux and Tzasset glaciers, extending to the valley floor at 2,000 meters elevation.

The glacier functions as a central reference point for mountaineers studying ice formations and climate patterns in the Gran Paradiso National Park.

Fixed bivouacs Carlo Pol at 3,183 meters and Gerard-Grappein at 3,200 meters provide shelter points for climbers exploring the glacier terrain.

The glacier creates a complete circular formation beneath the highest peak, offering a clear view of its entire structure from Valnontey valley.
