Kandersteg Faces Alpine Collapse Risk
In Kandersteg, Switzerland, scientists warn that Spitze Stei could collapse into the valley as thawing permafrost and retreating glaciers destabilize the slope, potentially mirroring the Blatten disaster after a May 2025 rock-and-ice collapse. Residents say precautions have been taken and emphasize they are managing the risk, though climate-driven instability in the Alps is expected to rise in coming years.
