Corbassière Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Corbassière Glacier (Glacier de Corbassière in french) is a valley glacier in the Grand Combin massif in the Pennine Alps in southwestern Valais. It is 9.8 km long with an average width of slightly more than 1 km and covers an area of 17.4 km².
The origin of Corbassière Glacier is on the northern slope of the Grand Combin at over 4000 m above sea level. The glacier tongue currently ends at around 2300 m above sea level.
On the right side of the lower section of the glacier, the Cabane François-Xavier Bagnoud (2645 m above sea level) belonging to the Swiss Alpine Club is a starting point for ascents and glacier tours in the Grand Combin massif.
