Silvretta Glacier, Mountain glacier in Grisons, Switzerland
The Silvretta Glacier extends over 2.7 square kilometers, spanning from an elevation of 3070 meters down to 2470 meters above sea level.
Scientists began monitoring the Silvretta Glacier in 1915, establishing two measurement stakes that expanded to a network of forty stakes by 1959.
The Silvretta nature trail features fifteen information boards detailing glaciology, geography, flora, fauna, and alpine traditions of the region.
Visitors access the glacier through a four-kilometer circular hiking route with yellow-blue markings, climbing approximately 300 meters in altitude.
The Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology at ETH Zurich maintains regular measurements of the glacier's mass, thickness, and front variations.
