Snowpack-stability tests in Alpine region

Snow- and Avalanche Research Institute (SLF)

Avalanche risk management is so integral to the Swiss culture that it was named an Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO). It shapes the identity of the people living here, and both empirical and as well as cultural practices have been guarding the highlanders from avalanche hazards. There is no better place than the Snow- and Avalanche Research Institute (SLF) to learn how avalanche works, how to assess their constant risks during alpine ski-touring, and how to deal with an avalanche once it got triggered.

Juneau Icefield Expedition

Juneau Icefield Research Program 2023

Foundation for Glacier and Environmental Research

The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) is a unique life experience where students can learn from nature in nature. We have traversed the Juneau Icefield, starting in Juneau, going up to Atlin, following the invisible trails of students and scientists of the past 75 years. The program builds upon the motto “Nature, Books, and Action”, and gives students a cross-discplinary entry to glaciology.
