Before/after comparison photo of Hobärg glacier (Valais alps)

Height: ca. 2810 - 4540m
Location: Randa, Mattertal, Valais, Switzerland Show glacier on: Swiss map...
The Hobärggletscher (formerly Hohbergletscher) is located on the east side of the Mischabel massif. It extends from the 4546m high Dom (= highest peak lying entirely in Switzerland) to a height of 2800m above sea level. It is surrounded by the 4000m high Dirruhorn (4035m, formerly Dürrenhorn), Hobärghorn (4218m, formerly Hohberghorn), Stecknadelhorn (4240m), Nadelhorn (4327m), Lenzspitze (4293m) and Dom (4546m).
On the normal route to Dom, one enters the Hobärggletscher after crossing the Festjoch (3722m). The route then leads to the summit over the Hobärggletscher.
