The Bis Glacier is located on the east side of the Weisshorn (4506 m). The hanging glaciers on the northeast face of the Weisshorn are also part of the Bis Glacier. Parts of these hanging glaciers collapse from time to time and threaten the railway and road near Randa as well as parts of the village.
