Torrent de la Creuse, Mountain creek in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
The Torrent de la Creuse flows for 3.37 kilometers through the Haute-Savoie region, descending from 2,250 meters to 1,010 meters in elevation.
The creek has maintained its course through centuries, contributing to the formation of an alluvial fan where the National Road 205 leading to Mont Blanc Tunnel now crosses.
Local inhabitants regularly monitor the creek's water levels, as its glacial waters represent a vital indicator of environmental changes in the Alpine region.
Three bridges span the Torrent de la Creuse, enabling vehicle access to the Mont Blanc Tunnel while supporting regional transportation between France and Italy.
The creek receives additional water input from the Crosette stream on its left bank before joining the Arve River near Les Pèlerins and Les Bossons communes.
