Blatten & Lötschental - before the landslide

On 28 May 2025, a gigantic (9 million cubic meter) landslide of ice, rock and debris has completely covered up 90% of the village of Blatten in the valley of Lötschental (Switzerland). All inhabitants had been evacuated a few days before so have survived, but in a matter of a few seconds have lost their homes, their possessions and their businesses. The few houses not covered by the landslide have been flooded as a result of water accumulation from the river Lonza.
The Lötschental is a hiking paradise in winter, summer and fall. These pictures are from my hikes in Lötschental between 2014 and my last and final ever visit to Blatten on 1st November 2024.
