Allalin Glacier, Alpine glacier in Valais, Switzerland
The Allalin Glacier extends 6 kilometers through the Pennine Alps, reaching from the Strahlhorn peak to the Mattmark Dam at 2,750 meters elevation.
On August 30, 1965, a substantial portion of the glacier collapsed onto a construction site at Mattmark Dam, resulting in 88 worker fatalities.
The glacier serves as a central feature of the Saas-Fee winter sports region, attracting skiers and mountaineers from numerous countries.
A funicular system, constructed in 1985, transports visitors to an elevation of 3,500 meters for access to skiing areas and observation points.
Every April, athletes participate in the Allalin Abfahrt competition, descending 9 kilometers with an elevation change of 1,800 meters.
