The glacier is feed by the snows and glaciers on the east side of Monte Rosa, among which is the Ghiacciaio del Monte Rosa, not to be mismatched with the Monte Rosagletscher on the Swiss west side, culminating above 4,500 metres, but also the Ghiacciaio Nord delle Loccie on the north side of the Punta delle Loccie (German: Punta Gruber, 3,497 m (11,473 ft)).
The glacier gives birth to the Anza, a tributary of the Toce.
