Before/after comparison of Allalin glacier (Valais Alps)
Height: 2650 - 4190m
The Allalin Glacier (Allalingletscher) is located in the rear part of the Saas Valley (Saas-Fee, Valais, Switzerland). It lies at the foot of the three 4000m Allalinhorn (4027m), Rimpfischhorn (4199m) and Strahlhorn (4190m). The normal routes from the Britannia Hut (3027m) to Strahlhorn and Fluchthorn (3794m) lead over the Allalin Glacier. For a few years now, a mountain trail (white-blue-white, Glacier Trail) has been leading from Schwarzbergchopf (2868m) over the Allalin Glacier to the Britannia Hut (3027m).
During the construction of the dam of the Mattmark reservoir, an ice avalanche from the Allalin Glacier in 1965 buried around 90 people.

This comparison shows the area of the glacier tongue. The glacier shrinkage (length and mass) of the last 10 years is clearly visible. In the background you can see the tongue of the Hohlaub Glacier.

This comparison shows the Allalin Glacier from the glacier tongue up to an altitude of about 3500m. The progressive melting of the glacier can be seen particularly well on the rocky island in the drop line of the Allalinhorn summit. This island has become much bigger in the last 10 years. The same can be observed in the area of the glacier tongue.
