Belalp: Avalanche radar monitors ridge avalanche
On 22 February 1999 at 5 PM a gigantic powder avalanche descended near Blatten, Switzerland. The width of the so-called "ridge avalanche" was 3.5 km with a slab thickness of 3 to 8 m (P. Schwitter & L. Stoffel, ISSW 2009 in German). The avalanche destroyed or...

Avalanche detection with automatic closure and reopening of road and rail
In natural hazards, the implementation of alarm systems with automatic road or rail closures requires the consideration of a number of important aspects. The aim is to keep closing times of transport routes as short as possible while at the same time ensuring safety...

Many avalanches for our radars in the Alps, Scandinavia and Canada
Winter is only halfway through and our avalanche radars in the northern hemisphere have already detected over 400 avalanches! The heavy snowfalls in the first half of January caused many spontaneous and artificially triggered avalanches in the Alps. But also in...

“The monitoring system works very well. The interferometric radar predicted several glacier detachments a couple of days in advance. Thanks to the avalanche radar we are able to keep running our train operations as the radar would stop our trains in a save place in case of a larger detachment.”

“The system works very well! It supports us in monitoring the road Taesch-Zermatt. Every single avalanche movement in the area is shown which let’s us assess the situation a lot better.”

“The system is very user friendly. It is a perfect tool to increase the road safety as well as to analyse and document events easily.”

“I am totally excited about the system. The avalanche radar is always running, even after an avalanche. In the past, it always took a while to replace trigger lines.”
