The Fiescher Glacier (Fieschergletscher in German) is a valley glacier on the south side of the Bernese Alps, the second longest glacier in the Alps. Bernese Alps, also called Bernese Oberland, German Berner Alpen, or Berner Oberland, French Alpes Bernoises, are a segment of the Central Alps lying north of the Upper Rhone River and south of the Brienzer and Thunersee (lakes) in Bern and Valais cantons of southwestern Switzerland. The mountains extend east-northeastward from the bend of the Rhone near Martigny-Ville to Grimsel Pass and Haslital, a valley of the upper Aare River.
