Aletsch Glacier in Winter by Sylvia Furrer Via Flickr: It was a very cold day with an icy strong wind, minus -15°Celsius, but the view was absolutely gorgeous. Here on the Eggishorn at an altitude of 2,926 m, the Aletsch Glacier spread out before my eyes in all its majesty and beauty. In winter, with all the snow, it appears even more imposing than in summer and gives you an idea of what it must have been like in the past. (Pano Bernese Alps/Wallis) Es war an einem sehr kalten Tag mit eisigem starken Wind, gefühlte minus -15°Celsius, doch die Fernsicht war absolut grandios. Hier auf dem Eggishorn auf einer Höhe von 2'926 m breitete sich der Aletschgletscher in seiner ganzen Grösse und Schönheit vor meinen Augen aus. Im Winter mit dem vielen Schnee erscheint er noch viel imposanter als im Sommer und lässt erahnen, wie er früher einmal gewesen sein muss.
