The Gischi glacer is situated on the west slope of the Gischihorn. In general, both names refer to the same collecting area.

For the Italian side of the mountain, see http://www.mindat.org/loc-238361.html

NOTE: The grid reference marks the Gischihorn (3083 m; Swiss coordinates: 659Β΄785 / 129Β΄710).
