Hiking
The Trient Glacier is nestled in the Trient Valley. Despite its beauty and impressive ice display, it lives in the shadow of neighboring celebrities in the Chamonix Valley, such as the Mer de Glace. The Trient Glacier remains a fantastic spectacle and can be seen year-round. Those taking the Fenêtre d'Arpette route on the Tour du Mont Blanc will also see it on their descent from the pass, which is a great excuse to stop and rest your knees.
