This is the second coin in a three-coin series for Swiss Glaciers.
The Rosenlaui glacier is situated in the northeastern section of the Bernese Alps, positioned south of Meiringen. Spanning a length of 4.5 kilometers and boasting an average width of 1 kilometer, it blankets an area of roughly 6 square kilometers, rendering it one of the smaller valley glaciers within the Bernese Oberland. Originating in the Wetterkessel on the northeastern slopes of the Wetterhorn group, the glacier is linked to the Gauli glacier and the Upper Grindelwald glacier to the south through ridges covered with firn. On its western flank lies the rocky ridge of the Wellhorn and the Klein Wellhorn, while the eastern side is bordered by the Dossen. Positioned at an elevation of around 2,000 meters above sea level, the glacier's tongue extends outward. Presently, the Rosenlaui glacier area, in conjunction with the Aletsch glacier and its environs, forms part of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
