We saw the cows being milked here, next to the glacier. It's a very beautiful walk with nice vieuws on the Steinsee and Steingletscher.

Hiking

Due to its location, the medium-sized Steingletscher is one of the better-known ice streams in the Swiss Alps. Its once shapely and easily accessible glacier tongue, with textbook glacial end lake, has defied climate change longer than most. In recent years, however, the end of the glacier has literally collapsed and retreated over several rock steps into impassable terrain. The former glacier tongue has almost completely melted away.
Nevertheless, a unique landscape remains.
