Glacier
LA GRAVE
You had to be either mad or a genius to dream up the Meije cable cars. A 30-minute trip takes you up to an altitude of 3200 m and the foot of the 'Reine Meije' and its 3892 m of stone, while below your feet lies the Meije glacier. Roped up to, and assisted by, a mountain guide, you can safely approach the glacier's gaping crevasses. As your eyes survey the horizon you are afforded views from the Belledonne Massif to Mont Thabor by way of the Aravis and Mont Blanc ranges. You can also visit the ice cave that houses an exhibition that is accessible to all, with sculptures carved out of the natural ice.
