A lot of
questions
Climate change is taking its toll and melting all the Alpine glaciers. What was the situation like this spring? Why does Saharan sand also play a major role on the glaciers?
All about
the glacier
A nature park guide explains the clearly visible phenomena of the glacier: crevasses, moraines, glacial striations etc. We observe the phenomena from the viewing platforms and take Glacier Bus 3 to the highest point in the ski area.
