Theodul Glacier, Glacier in Zermatt, Switzerland
The Theodul Glacier spans across the Swiss-Italian border, featuring two branches that flow from the Breithorn mountain at 4,164 meters elevation.
The formation of multiple lakes at the base of Upper Theodul Glacier since 1980 includes Theodulgletschersee, Switzerland's highest lake above 4 hectares.
The glacier functions as a natural border crossing through Theodul Pass, connecting the Swiss town of Zermatt with the Italian resort of Breuil-Cervinia.
Visitors access the glacier via cable cars from Zermatt to Breithorn Plateau, where 21 kilometers of prepared ski slopes await throughout the year.
The temperature at Plateau Rosa drops below -30°C in winter, while summer temperatures maintain snow conditions for Europe's highest ski area.
