The 1,300 residents of Kandersteg, in Switzerland\u2019s Bern canton, live amid a quintessential Alpine landscape of sharp peaks, white glaciers, steep green valleys and the distant sound of cowbells. But a catastrophe looms over the quiet village: a mountainside rock formation called Spitze Stei, part of a mountain landscape increasingly affected by thawing permafrost, threatens to collapse into the valley in a massive landslide. \u201cYou are aware that it\u2019s happening, but not afraid,\u201d said Brigitte J\u00fcni, an inhabitant of Kandersteg. She said authorities took all the precautions they could. \u201cBut then it\u2019s nature. It\u2019s nature and you never know,\u201d J\u00fcni added. As glaciers and permafrost \u2014 the frozen soil sediment and rock that acts like a glue holding mountains together \u2014 melt due to higher temperatures caused by climate change, the threat of landslides is rising in the Swiss Alps. In May 2025, a huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier thundered down the mountainside in the nearby Loetschental valley, sending plumes of dust skyward and coating with mud nearly all of Blatten, which had been evacuated earlier as a precaution. Markus Stoffel, professor for climate change and natural risks at the University of Geneva, said climate change leads to the melting of both glaciers and permafrost. \u201cIn the mountains&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/short-article\/2026\/08\/a-looming-rock-collapse-threatens-a-swiss-village-as-thawing-permafrost-destabilizes-the-alps\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Mongabay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KANDERSTEG, Switzerland (AP) \u2014 An unstable mountain rock formation looming above the Swiss village of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1790,12,1785,1789,754,14,9,1788,1784,11,13,1786,10,1787,268,2,1550],"class_list":["post-642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unicorn778","tag-alps","tag-bermain","tag-collapse","tag-destabilizes","tag-looming","tag-online","tag-peluang","tag-permafrost","tag-rock","tag-saat","tag-slot","tag-swiss","tag-terburuk","tag-thawing","tag-threatens","tag-unicorn778","tag-village"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
