The Gauli Glacier (German: Gauligletscher) is a 6.2 km (3.9 mi) long glacier (2005) in the Bernese Alps in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. In 1973, it had an area of 17.7 km2 (6.8 sq mi). The glacier is famous for the 1946 C-53 Skytrooper crash on the Gauli Glacier and the following rescue mission, which was the first carried out by an aircraft (Fieseler Storch) landing on a glacier.
A lake is located at the bottom of the glacier, at a height of 2,146 metres above sea level.[1] Its surface area is 0.28 km²[2]
