The Aargletschers, literally "Aare-Glaciers", are a system of glaciers located at the sources of the Aare river in the Bernese Alps, Switzerland. The original name has no plural-"s", as in German the plural of "gletscher" is only marked by changes of the article. The Aargletschers are constituted by two distinct partial glacier systems:

  • Unteraargletscher: composed by the converging Lauteraargletscher and Finsteraargletscher, between the Lauteraarhorn, Finsteraarhorn (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) and Grimselsee (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).
  • Oberaargletscher: between Oberaarhorn (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) and Oberaarsee (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).

Grimselsee and Oberaarsee are recent reserve lakes. The "…-Aar-Horns" are summits of more than 3600 metres above sea level, two of them even above 4000 metres.
