The Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps, located in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. It extends over 20 kilometers and covers more than 80 square kilometers entirely. It’s a valley glacier, which forms when snow accumulates over time, compresses into ice, and flows outward to the lower altitudes.
