Glaciers in the Bernese Alps

Alpine Glaciers

This collection features the icy giants of the Bernese Alps, anchored by the Great Aletsch Glacier, the largest ice flow in the Alps and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The list spans from massive plateau glaciers like Tsanfleuron to high-altitude hanging glaciers on the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs. These formations define the region's rugged topography, feeding major river systems and providing access to technical mountaineering routes and high-altitude hiking trails across the cantons of Bern and Valais.
