Photo and description

Wildstrubel is a glacier-covered mountain range in the Bernese Alps between Lenk and Adelboden in the north and the village of Ronetal in the south. In the old days, the mountain was called Brightys, which literally means `` wide ice. '' Despite the fact that Wildstrubel is located north of the main massif of the Bernese Alps, it is here that the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais lies. The mountain range includes three peaks of the same height: directly Wildstrubel, also called Lenkerstrubel (3243.5 meters above sea level); Middle Summit (also 3243.5 meters above sea level); Grossstrubel (3243 meters above sea level).

In the northwest direction, Wildstrubel ends with a steep cliff, and on the south-eastern side of it is the famous glacier of the same name, which runs further through Lemmerenalp, and ends with the thawed lake Daubensee. In the century before last, the glacier extended further into the valley, connecting with the glacier sliding from the Schwarzhorn mountain. On the southern slope of the Wildstrubel is another glacier called Plaine Morte. Over the past 100 years, the volume of the glacier has significantly decreased and it is assumed that by the end of this century the ice massif will completely melt. But today the amount of ice is enough to establish skiing on Wildstrubel even in summer.

And although the surface of the Wildstrubel is dotted with the channels of streams that previously flowed along the mountain, today not a single ground source has been found on its slopes. But at the foot there are two keys at once: Simmenkwelle on Retlitzberg in the upper reaches of Lenk and Source de la Li & egrave; ne over Lake Ravilstausee in the Valais canton, the latter pouring from a vertically located cliff into the lake, just like from a water tap.
