The Oberaargletscher (German: [ˈoːbəraːrˌglɛtʃər]), literally "Upper Aare-Glacier", is a 4 km (2.5 mi) long glacier (2005) situated in the Bernese Alps in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. In 1973 it had an area of 5.82 km2 (2.25 sq mi). The lower end of this glacier lies almost 400 m higher than the (original) lower end of neighbouring Unteraargletscher.
