The Oberaargletscher (German pronun­cia­tion: [ˈoːbərɑːrˌglɛtʃər]), literally "Upper Aare-Glacier" is a 4 km (2.5 mi) long glacier (2005) situated in the Bernese Alps in the canton of Berne in Switzerland. In 1973 it had an area of 5.82 km² (2.25 sq mi). The lower end of this glacier lies almost 400 m higher than the (original) lower end of neighbouring Unteraargletscher. Of course, the reserve lake Oberaarsee and the hotel near the lake ar much younger than the name of the glacier.
