Triftsee

About

The Triftsee is a proglacial lake below the Trift Glacier in Gadmen, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. It began forming in the late 1990s as the glacier retreated and expanded significantly after 2001. The site has since become the focus of hydropower development plans and environmental debates.
