Fee Glacier

The Fee Glacier (German: Feegletscher) is a 4.7 km (2.9 mi) long glacier (2005) situated in the Pennine Alps in the canton of Valais in Switzerland . In 1973, it had a length of 5.0 km (3.1 mi) and an area of 7.5 km2 (2.9 sq mi). It lies east of the Mischabel range, between the summit of Dom on the north and Allalinhorn on the south. The glacier is accessible via the Mittelallalin cable car and is used as a ski area.

Physical characteristics

Fee Glacier (German: Feegletscher) descends on the north-east flank of the Mischabel range, splitting into Feegletscher Nord and Süd above the resort of Saas-Fee . Glacier Monitoring of Switzerland (GLAMOS) length surveys show that the glacier measured roughly 4.6 km in 2019 and has retreated by about 1,100 m since systematic observations began in 1883, equivalent to one quarter of its 19th-century extent.
