The Rutor glacier is one of the biggest in the Aosta Valley and the sixth biggest in Italy. It is located in the valley of La Thuile.

.

It owes its name to the Testa del Rutor, the highest mountain in the region (3,486m). The name derives from the Valle d'Aostan word "roése", glacier, and "tor", rocky peak. The Dora di Verney, a tributary of the Dora Baltea, flows from the glacier.
