The
Konkordiaplatz or
Concordia (French:
Place de la Concorde), is a large flat area of
snow and
ice lying just to the south of the
Jungfrau in the
Bernese Alps in the
Swiss canton of
Valais. Its notable feature is that it is the junction of four large
glaciers coming down from the
Aletschfirn, the
Jungfraufirn, the
Ewigschneefäld and the
Grüneggfirn. The main
Aletsch Glacier originates from Konkordiaplatz. The
Konkordiaplatz Charter was signed by the municipalities located in the
Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area UNESCO World Heritage site, vowing to retain the aesthetic beauty of the region.
