Trient Glacier, Alpine glacier in Valais, Switzerland
The Trient Glacier extends 4.3 kilometers through the Mont Blanc Massif, featuring a broad plateau between 3,000 and 3,200 meters in altitude.
Records from 1973 indicate the glacier covered an area of 6.4 square kilometers, demonstrating substantial changes in its size over recent decades.
The Swiss Alpine Club manages the Trient hut at 3,170 meters, serving mountaineers who explore the northern section of Mont Blanc Massif.
The glacier tongue descends to 1,800 meters near Vésevey village, with access routes maintained by local mountain guides throughout climbing seasons.
The glacier forms a 600-meter-wide ice stream that flows northward through a narrow valley, creating a natural water source for the Trient River.
