The
Upper Grindelwald Glacier (German:
Oberer Grindelwaldgletscher) is one of the 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 km (4.1 mi) and covered an area of 9.6 km2 (3.7 sq mi) in 1973.
The Upper Grindelwald Glacier arises from a vast snow field north of the
Schreckhorn 
and south of the
Wetterhorn 
. In 2008, the glacier tongue was around 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) above sea level, making it one of the lowest glaciers in the Alps.
