“This is a dying glacier,“ said Matthias Huss, Director of Glacier Monitoring Switzerland (GLAMOS), noting the depth of the ice reduced by six metres in the 12 months to September 2025 alone.
The grim reality of rapid glacier melt was seen in May 2025, when a catastrophic glacier collapse destroyed the village of Blatten, also in the canton of Valais.
“We would need much more snow to counteract the effect of the very warm summers. And this summer of 2025, again, was much too warm,“ Huss stated.
About one hundred glaciers have vanished between 2016 and 2022 in Switzerland, according to GLAMOS.
Since the 1990s, ice loss has increased in nearly all regions around the world mainly due to stronger summer melting, according to a new report by the World Meteorological Organisation. It found, for the third year in a row, every glaciated region on Earth reported ice loss - REUTERS
