Konkordiaplatz

The Konkordiaplatz or Concordia Place (French: Place de la Concorde), is a flat area of snow and ice lying just to the south of the Jungfrau in the Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais.

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.

British mountaineer John Frederick Hardy dubbed the location at the convergence of the several glaciers Place de la Concorde of Nature.

[3] It is surrounded by the Dreieckhorn (south), the Fiescher Gabelhorn (east), the Grünhorn (north-east) and the Kranzberg (subpeak of the Jungfrau) and Trugberg (north).

The area is uninhabited but the Konkordia Hut lies above the glacier, on the western slope of Gross Wannenhorn.
