# Grindelwald

> Glacier Village · ALT. 1034 M · WETTERHORN 3690 M

The village sits at 1034 metres, beneath the Wetterhorn, which rises to 3690. The Bureau records the difference between the two figures and considers it the point of the place. Glaciers cover some 21.6 per cent of the municipal area, a proportion the register prints without projection. The designation was granted for ice that has since withdrawn up its valleys. The Bureau has not revised it, holding that a name records what was found rather than what remains.
