Mount Wildstrubel Photo: Mount Wildstrubel

Wildstrubel - glacier-covered mountain range in the Bernese Oberland between Lenk and Adelboden in the North and the village of Ranital in the South. In earlier times, the mountain was called British that literally means "wide ice". Despite the fact that the Station is located North of the main massif of the Bernese Alps, here lies the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais. The massif consists of three equal-height peaks: Wildstrubel, also called Lancastrian (3243, 5 meters above sea level); Average Peak (also 3243, 5 meters above sea level); Crosstrail (3243 m above sea level).

In a North-westerly direction Wildstrubel ends in a steep cliff, and on the South-Eastern side of the famous eponymous glacier, which runs further through Lammertal, and ending with a thawed lake Daubensee. In the nineteenth century, the glacier stretched and deeper into the valley, connecting with the glacier, slipping from the mountains of Lvarchar. On the southern slope of the Wildstrubel is another glacier called the Plaine morte. In the last 100 years, the volume of the glacier has decreased significantly and is expected by the end of our century ice massif melts completely. But today the amount of ice is enough to establish skiing on the Wildstrubel even in the summer.

And though the surface of the Wildstrubel and dotted with rivers formerly flowed by the mountain streams, today on its slopes have not found a single terrestrial source. And here at the foot are two keys: Simmonsville on Roethlisberger in the upper reaches of the village Lenk and Source de la Liène over the lake Revelstoke in the Canton of Valais, water last beat of a vertical cliff into the lake, just like from the tap.
