Brenva Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

The Brenva Glacier is a valley glacier on the southern side of the Mont Blanc massif in the Alps, descending into the Val Veny near Courmayeur, Italy. It is the second-longest and eighth-largest glacier in Italy, and repeated large rock avalanches over the centuries have reshaped it and altered its movement.
