From the ridge, the view opens onto the Brenva Glacier, the sixth largest in the Aosta Valley, with a surface area of 5.35 square kilometres, equivalent to 750 football fields. Its form is set between Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Blanche, the Aiguille Noire and the Dames Anglaises. A severe landscape of sharp ridges and vertical walls.

An evolving landscape
This panoramic viewpoint was moved higher up during the creation of the trail, following the retreat of the ice. The distance that now separates you from the glacier, increasingly evident, tells the story of the changes taking place.
