The Konkordiaplatz or Concordia Place (French: Place de la Concorde) in Switzerland, 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 Konkordiahütte (hut) oversees this UNESCO World Heritage site and can only be reached by helicopter or by walking over the glaciers. It is advisable to start the walking on the glaciers route at the bottom of the Jungfraujoch and end near Märjelen. On the movie it can be seen other wonders of the Jungfrau region / Interlaken like the bridge over the Trift glacier, the Niesenbahn, the waterfalls at Lauterbrunnen, the Schilthorn, the Jungfraujoch (highest train station in Europe) or the Oberhofen castle.
The movie was made primarily with a Phantom 4 although I included some poorer quality shots from Phantom 2 and Iphone for story telling purposes. ;-)
