Lower Grindelwald Glacier, Alpine glacier in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Lower Grindelwald Glacier extends 6.2 kilometers from the Agassizhorn and Strahlegghorn mountains through a deep valley between rocky walls.
During the 19th century, the glacier reached the Grindelwald valley at Mettenberg at 983 meters altitude, filling the entire valley with 300-meter thick ice.
Scientists regularly monitor this glacier to study climate patterns and environmental changes in the Alps through various research programs.
Visitors can access the glacier area from May to November through marked trails, with regular public transportation connections from Interlaken East station.
The glacier connects to the Unteraar Glacier via the Finsteraarjoch pass at 3,283 meters elevation, creating an interconnected ice system.
