Brandner Glacier, Glacier in Vorarlberg, Austria.

Brandner Glacier (also Schesaplanagletscher, older Brandner Ferner) lies in the Rätikon in Austria and is only a few kilometres long and wide. It is ringed counter-clockwise by Wildberg, Panüeler Kopf, Salaruelkopf, the Schafköpfe and Schesaplana, with the Mannheimer Hütte beside it. A separate small ice field has held on the north slope of the saddle between Felsenkopf and Zirmenkopf (as of 2019).

The glacier formed during ice ages and has continually changed shape over thousands of years. In recent decades it has noticeably shrunk due to warming temperatures.

The glacier's meltwater feeds the Glingabrunnen spring south of Brand, which runs dry from about November to May. In the 19th century the Fohrenburg brewery in Bludenz collected ice blocks that broke off the glacier's rim to cool beer stored in its cellars. On 8 July 2023 the glacier was symbolically buried as a sign of its retreat.

The main route climbs from Mannheimer Hütte along marked mountain trails toward the glacier. The terrain is steep and requires mountain experience, so checking conditions before setting out is wise.

In the 19th century, the Fohrenburg brewery in Bludenz collected ice blocks that broke off the glacier's rim and fell into the valley, using them to keep the beer stored in its cellars cool. Old photographs in the dining room of the Douglasshütte show that the ice once spilled over the saddle between the Mannheimer Hütte and the Panüeler Kopf down into the Zalimtal.
