Kander Glacier, Glacier in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Kander Glacier extends 6.6 kilometers in length at the upper section of Gasterental valley, near the mountains of Blüemlisalp and Tschingelhorn.
The glacier has experienced substantial changes since 1973, when measurements indicated its surface area covered approximately 13.9 square kilometers in the Bernese Alps.
The Kander Glacier serves as a foundation for scientific research, environmental monitoring, and educational programs focused on Alpine glacier systems.
Visitors can observe the glacier through established hiking trails near Kandersteg, with local guides offering specialized tours during the summer season.
The glacier functions as the primary source of the Kander River, which flows through Lake Thun before joining the Aare and Rhine river systems.
