Rosenlaui glacier
Swiss glaciers series
The Rosenlaui glacier is located at the north-eastern end of the Bernese Alps to the south of Meiringen. It is 4.5km long with an average width of 1km and covers an area of around 6km². This makes it one of the smaller valley glaciers in the Bernese Oberland. It begins in the Wetterkessel on the north-eastern flank of the Wetterhorn group. To the south, the glacier is connected to the Gauli glacier and the Upper Grindelwald glacier via firn-covered ridges. To the west, it is flanked by the rocky ridge of the Wellhorn and the Klein Wellhorn, and to the east by the Dossen. The glacier tongue lies at around 2,000m above sea level. Today, the Rosenlaui glacier area, together with the Aletsch glacier and the surrounding regions, is part of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
