Global warming is increasingly destabilizing the Swiss Alps as thawing permafrost and retreating glaciers threaten mountain infrastructure, affecting nearly half of the Swiss Alpine huts, according to media reports Thursday.
瑞士阿尔卑斯俱乐部(SAC)被迫迁移某些山屋,并在新设施和防护措施上花费数百万,新闻媒体瑞士资讯(Swiss Info)报道称。
The Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) is being forced to relocate certain huts and spend millions on new facilities and protective measures, news outlet Swiss Info reported.
伯尔尼高地的穆特霍恩山屋的裂缝一直在稳步扩大和加宽,直至2021年关闭,因为融化的永久冻土使其面临倒塌的危险。
Cracks had been steadily spreading and widening in the Mutthorn mountain hut in the Bernese Oberland until it was closed in 2021 as it faced danger of collapsing due to thawing permafrost.
“我们知道这座山屋可能撑不过一百年。但它倒塌得如此之快,真的让我们很害怕,”瑞士阿尔卑斯俱乐部(SAC)魏森施泰因分会主席法比安·诺特(Fabienne Notter)告诉瑞士公共广播公司RTS。
"We knew this hut probably wouldn’t last another hundred years. But the fact that it collapsed so quickly really scared us," Fabienne Notter, president of the Weissenstein section of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), told Swiss public broadcaster RTS.
在遍布瑞士阿尔卑斯山的152座SAC山屋中,有65座位于可能受融化永久冻土威胁的地区。由于落石、泥石流和地面移动,通往山屋的通道也变得更加危险。
Of the 152 SAC huts dotted across the Swiss Alps, 65 are in areas potentially threatened by thawing permafrost. Access routes are also becoming more hazardous due to rockfalls, mudslides and ground movement.
“我们无法预测会掉落什么,也无法预测何时掉落。但有一件事是肯定的,它会倒塌,”伯尔尼州自然灾害负责人尼尔斯·哈伦(Nils Hahlen)说。
"We cannot predict what will fall or when. But one thing is certain it will collapse," said Nils Hahlen, head of natural hazards for canton of Bern.
阿莱奇冰川每年失去四到六米的厚度,迫使楼梯每两三年就要延伸一次。
The Aletsch Glacier is losing between four and six meters in thickness each year, forcing the staircase to be extended every two or three years.
“当不再有融水时,现有的水必须撑到次年五月,”山屋管理员克里斯托夫·萨格(Christoph Sager)说。
"When there is no more meltwater left, the available water has to last until the following May," said Christoph Sager, the hut manager.
在一个案例中,替代的穆特霍恩山屋建在距原址略超过半英里(900米)的地方,位于更稳固的地面上,且处于较少受雪崩威胁的位置。旧山屋于2025年夏天被完全拆除,成本超过48万美元。
In one case, a replacement Mutthorn hut was built slightly over half a mile (900 meters) from the original site, on more stable ground in a location less exposed to avalanches. The old hut was completely dismantled in the summer of 2025 at a cost of more than $480,000.
