Stein Glacier, Alpine glacier in Bern, Switzerland
The Stein Glacier extends 4 kilometers through the Urner Alps, reaching elevations between 2000 and 3420 meters above sea level.
The glacier maintained a length approximately 1 kilometer greater during the Little Ice Age of the mid-nineteenth century than its current dimensions.
Swiss scientists regularly monitor the Stein Glacier to document climate changes and understand glacial movement patterns in the Alpine region.
Visitors can reach observation points of the Stein Glacier through marked hiking paths that start from the Susten Pass road.
The natural retreat of the Stein Glacier created the Steinsee lake at 1934 meters altitude, where the glacier tongue previously extended.
