I propose an excursion in Switzerland for an easy walk that allows observing the Trient Glacier.
\nThe trail follows along the Bisse du Trient for about four kilometers. A \u201cbisse\u201d is an artificial canal built on the slope of a mountain to bring water from the glacier and thus irrigate the crops.
\nContrary to the first version of the description published in 2004, it is no longer possible to reach the bottom of the glacier since it has retreated considerably. From now on, to contemplate the glacier in its entirety, that is from Petite Pointe d\u2019Orny to the valley, one has to take the Sentier de la Lys indicated by red marks once arrived at Chalet du Trient and going to V\u00e9sevey (my description stops there) and Fen\u00eatre d\u2019Arpette.
\nYou will find at the bottom of the page comparative photos showing the evolution of the glacier since 1985.
