Review: Rotary Youth Excursion “Music from Ice to Lake” – Morteratsch Glacier 

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming 20 young people from all over the world to Switzerland as part of the Rotary Camp Music from Ice to Lake. During their trip, they discovered places and people with a special connection to water, including the Morteratsch Glacier.

Accompanied by glaciologist Felix Keller, we first took the gondola lift up to the Diavolezza mountain hut. There, before the hike began, music was played by Felix Keller and the participants themselves, who had brought their instruments with them.

From the hut, the trail led downhill to the glacier. Equipped with crampons, the group stepped onto the eternal ice, where exciting discussions about water, glacier melt, and sustainability took place. Between crevasses, fascinating ice formations, and small rivers, they experienced the fascination of this unique landscape up close.

A big thank you to all participants for your interest, your openness, and the lively energy you brought with you.
