Glacier des Grands and Trient.
The Glacier du Trient is still around the corner
I backpacked into and out of Trient on July 4 and July 5, 2014 completing the Haute Route
Martigny, the Rhone valley, and Mont Fort from Col de la Forclaz

I backpacked out and back from Mattmarksee (far right) to Macugnaga, Italy Tuesday August 11 and Wednesday August 12, 2015
The view from directly in front of the Madonna statue at Monte Moro Pass on the Swiss / Italian border was unbelievable.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more beautiful place.
I lingered for quite a while before heading down to the lift.
Monte Moro pass is 2868m
The snowcapped peaks of the Monte Rosa on the left are Signalkuppe (Swiss name) / Punta Gnifetti (Italian name) 4554m, Zumsteinspitze 4563m, Dufourspitze 4634m, and Nordend 4609m
Dufourspitze 4634m is the highest point in Switzerland (Mont Blanc 4810m is the highest point in Italy)
Margherita Hut, where we originally intended to spend a night, is on top of Signalkuppe
Belvedere 1904m is 7000' below the peaks above and appears directly above the top of Monte Moro ski lift building 2810m
Monte Moro 2985m is the close peak above the lake in left center
The snowcapped peaks of the Mischabel group on the right are Rimpfischorn 4199m, Allalinhorn 4027m, Alphubel 4206m, Taschorn 4491m, Dom 4545m, and Nadelhorn 4327m
(Strahlhorn 4190m seen earlier is hidden behind Monte Moro)
