Before/after comparison of Lang glacier (Bernese Alps, Swiss Alps)

Height: 2000 - 3000m
Location: Blatten, Lötschental, Valais, Switzerland Show glacier on: Swiss map... GLAMOS...
The Lang Glacier (Langgletscher) is located in the Lötschen valley (Lötschental). It stretches from the Lötschenlücke (3158m) to quite a long way down into the Lötschental. The Lötschenlücke and the Lang Glacier are crossed by a popular classic spring ski tour (Jungfraujoch, 3470m - Lötschenlücke - Fafleralp in the Lötschental). Above the Lötschenlücke is the Hollandia hut (3240m, Hollandiahütte). North of the glacier tongue lies the private Anenhütte at an altitude of 2350m.
