Before/after comparison of Chüeboden glacier (Ticino Alps / Valais Alps)

Height: 2670 - 2800m
Location: Bedretto, Val Bedretto, Ticino, Switzerland Show glacier on: Swiss map...
The Chüeboden glacier (Chüebodengletscher) is located on the Gerenpass (2671m), a pass between Val Bedretto (Ticino, Switzerland) and Obergoms (Wallis, Switzerland). On the way between All' Acqua and the Geren pass is the Capanna Piansecco (1982m).
At the turn of the millennium a small lake formed on the Chüeboden glacier. This has grown from year to year and is now likely to cover a larger area than the glacier itself.
