On the way out of the hills & back to Kilchberg we stopped at Steingletscher, in the Urner Alps, along Sustenpass - 2270m at the top of the pass.
This glacier is about 4 kms long and stretches along the tops of a series of mountains.
Unfortunately at the lower regions near the lake, the glacier has melted away, but it is visible in the upper sections and is quite specky. A heli ride over the top would show it better, but the Swiss didn't offer this, at least not in summer.
The views of the mountains & surrounds once again were spectacular, green and still with plenty of snow. Long waterfalls were visible everywhere as the intense heat (29 degrees at 1900m) was melting away the snow.
What we found was amazing, the farmer has set up a portable milking station overlooking the glacier lake & the cows line up to be milked before heading off to green lush pastures nearby.
