It faces south, originates at the Dammastock and runs southwards. In the process, it forms a glacier tongue that is currently 8 kilometres long and up to 2 kilometres wide. The ice thickness is partly over 300 metres.   <\/p>\n<p>Starting from the Hotel Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re on the road, the glacier tongue can be reached via a footpath of a few hundred metres for which a fee is charged. Every year, a small tunnel is cut into the glacier. For protection, the tunnelled area of the glacier is covered with a tarpaulin. You enter the illuminated tunnel on wooden planks, walk about 100 metres through the ice and then reach the ice grotto.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93e944d gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"93e944d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5682 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"93e944d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"The glacier from the outside\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"The glacier from the outside\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTY1NSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8xMlwvcmhvbmVfZ2xhY2llci00LXNjYWxlZC5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI5M2U5NDRkIn0%3D\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-4-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-4-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"The glacier from the outside\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5655\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5655'>\n\t\t\t\tThe glacier from the outside\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"93e944d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Ice walls\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Ice walls\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTY1MSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8xMlwvcmhvbmVfZ2xhY2llci0yLXNjYWxlZC5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI5M2U5NDRkIn0%3D\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-2-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Ice walls\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5651\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5651'>\n\t\t\t\tIce walls\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"93e944d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Anna in the ice tunnel\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Anna in the ice tunnel\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTY0OSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2Rlc3RhcnkuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8xMlwvcmhvbmVfZ2xhY2llci0xLXNjYWxlZC5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI5M2U5NDRkIn0%3D\" href='https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-1-scaled.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rhone_glacier-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Anna in the ice tunnel\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5649\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5649'>\n\t\t\t\tAnna in the ice tunnel\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-717a038 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"717a038\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3463984 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3463984\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">History<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daacb2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"daacb2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Rhone Glacier had its post-glacial peak during the so-called &#8220;Little Ice Age&#8221; until into the 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the 20th century, the end of the glacier was at the foot of the escarpment.
