The Upper Grindelwald Glacier is one of two valley glaciers near Grindelwald on the northern side of the Bernese Alps, in the canton of Bern, the other being the Lower Grindelwald Glacier. It had a length of about 6.6 kilometers and covered an area of 9.6 square kilometers in 1973, arising from a vast snowfield north of the Schreckhorn and south of the Wetterhorn. By 2008 its glacier tongue stood at around 1,400 meters above sea level, making it one of the lowest glaciers in the Alps.
