    Auguste Piccard had to make an emergency landing with his balloon on the Obergurgl glacier in 1931. The Piccard Bridge can be found very close to this point today (komoot.de/highlight/305458). The sphere next to the stylized bust is modeled on the capsule of the stratospheric balloon.

      Piccard Memorial, Obergurgl
      The Piccard Memorial, erected in 1989, commemorates Prof. Auguste Piccard's emergency landing on the Gurgler Ferner glacier on May 27, 1931.
      The news of his rescue made headlines worldwide. A commemorative publication is available at the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl Information Office.
