Cambrena Glacier, Alpine glacier in Grisons, Switzerland
Cambrena Glacier is an expanse of ice in the Bernina mountain range, stretching across high altitude terrain near Bernina Pass. The ice field slopes gently downward and flows through rocky alpine valleys.
The glacier formed during the Ice Age and developed over thousands of years through the movement of ice and rock. Records from the mid-20th century onward track how it has changed with shifting climate conditions.
The glacier draws mountaineers and nature observers who track its seasonal changes as part of their mountain routines. It represents the high alpine landscape that shapes how people experience this region.
The best access comes from marked paths starting at Bernina Pass, which are easier to navigate during warmer months. Visitors should prepare for alpine conditions since elevation and weather can change rapidly.
The glacier sits in a position where it can be seen both from the Bernina Pass road and from the nearby railway station below. Many visitors spot it by chance while traveling through this route without planning a separate trip.
