I am sorry, I missed that the topic was already created here: Blatten VS - Gletscher-Abbruch
The landslide happened yesterday evening, May 28, 2025. One person is missing, even though the village was evacuated several days before. The larger part of the village is destroyed.
This photo is from the LeNouvelliste nespaper (lenouvelliste.ch):
The river Lonza started to form a lake, since the land-, rock- and ice- created a natural barrage.
I started to map the landslide and the growing lake-reservoir in order that people and cars do not try to go to this popular valley:
One may need to reload map several times so that these new changes become visible.
Two more villages below, Wiler and Kippel, are being partially evacuated too, as the water may overwhelm the natural barrage and cause inundation downstream.
