Description

In the eastern Bernese Alps in southwest Switzerland, this is the largest glaciated area in Europe, with over 35,000 hectares (135 square miles) of glacier. It is home to the Aletsch glacier, the largest in the Alps. The area is dominated by towering peaks such as the Jungfrau and the north wall of the Eiger. The highest mountain in the Bernese Alps is Finsteraarhorn, at 4,274 metres (14,022 feet).
