Rhêmes-Golette Glacier, Cross-border glacier in Tignes and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, France and Italy
The Rhêmes-Golette Glacier extends 1.5 kilometers in length at an elevation of 2,900 meters between the French and Italian slopes of the Alps.
The complex border demarcation between France and Italy crosses the glacier in an arc from Pic de Golette to Pic de la Traversière.
The glacier lies within the Grande Sassière National Nature Reserve, a protected area in the Graian Alps that preserves mountain ecosystems.
Accessing the glacier requires a 25-kilometer hike with an elevation gain of 1,918 meters, starting near La Daille on departmental road D902.
The glacier feeds three separate basins forming Lake Rhêmes-Golette, which hikers can reach by following a path along the glacial front.
