Gletscherspuren
Overview
Intro
What the landscape tells us
The climate is changing, the glacier is melting - and this is leaving its mark on a place that has been changing again and again for thousands of years. What does the landscape tell us about the past and future of the Great Aletsch Glacier?
From the Moosfluh, we look out over an impressive mountain world and immerse ourselves in the history of the Great Aletsch Glacier. Following its tracks, we descend to the Chatzulechern, where we suddenly find ourselves in a fascinating habitat. Only ice-free for a few decades, we are given an exciting glimpse into the future. How will the climate develop? And what effect will this have on the landscape? In the Aletsch Forest, we discover how the glacier is present even where it has been gone for thousands of years.
