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.
