Rockslides ¶
At the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF we research rockslides so that risks can be assessed and damage prevented.
The destabilisation of rock faces is not a process that happens overnight but is instead the result of a long process that may last many thousands of years.
Find more information about rockfalls, rockslides and more at the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF.
