The
Gauli Glacier (German:
Gauligletscher) is a 6.2 km (3.9 mi) long glacier (2005) in the
Bernese Alps 
in the
Canton of Bern 
in Switzerland. In 1973, it had an area of 17.7 km2 (6.8 sq mi). The glacier is famous for the
1946 C-53 Skytrooper crash on the Gauli Glacier 
and the following rescue mission, which was the first carried out by an aircraft (Fieseler Storch) landing on a glacier.
A lake is located at the bottom of the glacier, at a height of 2,146 metres above sea level.
