🇨🇭 After the tragic rock-ice avalanche in Blatten, one question came up again and again: Could it have been predicted? At ETH Zürich and WSL-Institut für Schnee- und Lawinenforschung SLF, scientists had already developed a cutting-edge 3D simulation tool and it proved eerily accurate. 🔬 The model reproduced the volume, speed, shockwave and runout of the Blatten collapse, down to the detail of debris flying over 100 meters into the air. This innovation could become a vital tool for risk manage

Swiss Village Buried After Glacier Collapse Triggers Avalanche A massive avalanche of ice, mud, and rock buried much of the mountain village of Blatten, southern Switzerland, after the Birch Glacier collapsed on Wednesday. Photos showed the village nearly submerged, with only a few rooftops poking through the debris. The glacier had shown signs of instability, prompting engineers to issue evacuation warnings over a week earlier — a move credited with preventing loss of life. The avalanche’s impa

May 27-28, 2025 Switzerland 🇨🇭 Blatten: A massive collapse of the Birch Glacier in Valais buried 90% of the village of Blatten, previously evacuated on May 19 due to avalanche risks. The landslide, triggered around 3:30 PM Wednesday, sent ice, rock, and mud crashing down, destroying homes and infrastructure. Drone footage showed debris-strewn wooden buildings. One person, a 64-year-old man, is missing; search efforts were suspended due to unstable debris. The Lonza River is dammed, raising flo
