The walk continues with Lake Blanc at an altitude of 2473 meters before heading towards the Saint-Sorlin glacier, where you will reach its foot at an altitude of approximately 2650 meters. The total elevation gain for this hike is 766 meters, taking into account the slight descent from the Col des Tufs to Lake Bramant and the ascent on the way back.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin.webp\" class=\"et_pb_lightbox_image\" alt=\"Plan Col de la Croix de Fer - Glacier de St Sorlin\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin.webp\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin.webp 1920w, https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin-1280x720.webp 1280w, https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin-980x551.webp 980w, https:\/\/voyaphil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Plan-Col-de-la-Croix-de-Fer-Glacier-de-St-Sorlin-480x270.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-211\" alt=\"Plan Col de la Croix de Fer - Glacier de St Sorlin\" title=\"Map of the Croix de Fer Pass - St Sorlin Glacier\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_code_0 et_pb_code et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d22505.8706548167!2d6.142810517996845!3d45.162114598502924!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x478a3fa3454d3027%3A0x31f5dcb6127b94a1!2sGlacier%20de%20Saint-Sorlin!5e0!3m2!1sfr!2sfr!4v1756498947442!5m2!1sfr!2sfr\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_2 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Alpine hike on the Saint-Sorlin Glacier in video<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_0 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"St Sorlin Glacier Hike - Alps - France\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zby7ozWUtTc?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer;
