Moiry Glacier, Alpine glacier in Pennine Alps, Valais, Switzerland.
The Moiry Glacier extends 5 kilometers through the Pennine Alps, featuring white ice formations that descend from the Pointe de Mourti summit.
The glacier has shaped the Valais landscape over thousands of years, creating deep valleys and depositing moraines that form the current topography.
Local mountain guides share their knowledge of Alpine glaciology with visitors through educational tours that examine the glacier's geological patterns.
The glacier can be reached via a marked trail from Grimentz village, with the access road remaining open from June through October.
The glacier feeds directly into Lac de Moiry reservoir, creating a natural water system that supports regional hydroelectric power generation.
