The Lower Grindelwald Glacier (Template:Lang-de) is a Glacier in the Swiss Bernese Alps, situated to the south of Grindelwald. The Lower Grindelwald Glacier includes the tributary Grindelwald-Fiescher Glacier (Template:Lang-de), which is the glacier overlooked by the Jungfrau Railway's Eismeer station.[1]

The Lower Grindelwald Glacier was about 8.2 km long and covered an area of 20.8 km2 (8.0 sq mi) in 1973.[2]

The Lower Grindelwald Glacier should not be confused with the Upper Grindelwald Glacier, situated to its north-east. The Grindelwald-Fiescher Glacier should not be confused with the like-named Fiescher Glacier, to the south of the Fiescherhorn.
