Rosenlaui Glacier, Alpine glacier in Bernese Alps, Switzerland

The Rosenlaui Glacier stretches for 5 kilometers across the Bernese Alps, featuring steep rocky walls and carved ice formations at an elevation of 2,000 meters.

Scientific measurements and monitoring of the Rosenlaui Glacier began in the late 19th century, with artist Heinrich Müller creating detailed etchings around 1870.

The glacier serves as an environmental research site within the Swiss glacier monitoring network, contributing data about climate patterns and geological changes.

Visitors can access the glacier through marked hiking trails from Meiringen, with entrance fees of 10 Swiss Francs for adults and 6 Swiss Francs for children.

The glacier's gorge contains water-carved rock formations that reach heights of 80 meters, with water flowing at rates between 2 and 4 cubic meters per second.
