The Wildstrubel is a glaciated mountain group in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland . It lies between Lenk and Adelboden in the north and the Rhone valley in the south. A historical name for him is Breiteis . Although it is in front of the main ridge of the Bernese Alps to the north, the border between the cantons of Bern and Valais runs over it , extending northwards over the Gemmi Pass .

geography

The Wildstrubel consists of three almost equally high peaks (from west to east):

  • actual Wildstrubel ( 3244  m above sea level ), also called "Lenkerstrubel"
  • Middle summit ( 3243.5  m above sea level )
  • Grossstrubel ( 3243  m above sea level )

The Wildstrubel slopes steeply to the west and north; on the southeast flank is the Wildstrubel Glacier , which is drained via the Lämmerenalp to the Daubensee . The extensive Glacier de la Plaine Morte lies on its southern flank .

Upstream to the northwest is the Ammertenhorn at 2,666  m above sea level. M.

The whole massif of the Wildstrubel is a karst area with no significant visible outlets. Two impressive springs arise at the foot of the massif: the Simmenquelle (s) on the Retzliberg above Lenk, as well as the Source de la Liène above the Rawilstausee in Valais, which gushes straight out of a vertical rock face like a tap .
