Get to Morteratsch Glacier as fast as you can; according to signposts along the trail, the giant ice field is receding at a rate of nearly 100 feet per year. Although the trail is fairly flat, you’ll need to hop rocks in the freezing river to reach the actual glacier. You’ll also be treated to sweeping 360-degree views of the picturesque surroundings.
