Der Winter war zu trocken und zu mild, im März und April setzte sich dieses Muster fort. In der Folge sind die Schneehöhen in den Alpen für die Jahreszeit klar unterdurchschnittlich. Sehr schlechte Aussichten für den #Gletschersommer 2026! => https://t.co/JLeImsjPuo (km) #GLAMOS

Swiss glacier melt season starts today, and immediately with an early-season #heatwave. 🇨🇭🧊☀️ Snow cover on Swiss glaciers is currently ~25% below average after a too dry winter, while forecasts show rapid mass loss in the coming week. Bad news for our glaciers :( #GLAMOS

Somber beeld Zwitserse gletsjers 🏔️ Recente gegevens van het Zwitserse gletsjer monitoringsnetwerk #Glamos tonen aan dat er momenteel ongeveer een kwart minder sneeuw op gletsjers ligt dan het langetermijngemiddelde. Metingen in april en mei op 25 Zwitserse gletsjers schetsen een somber beeld: het tekort bedraagt circa 25 procent ten opzichte van het gemiddelde over de jaren 2010 tot 2020. Het was opnieuw een slechte winter voor de gletsjers omdat het veel te droog was. In sommige regio's is de sneeuwlaag aan het einde van de winter zelfs dunner dan ooit tevoren sinds de metingen begonnen. Daarmee behoort de winter van 2025/26 tot de vijf sneeuwarmste winters van de afgelopen twintig jaar. Deze situatie is problematisch omdat sneeuw in de zomer een cruciale beschermende rol speelt voor gletsjers. Het fungeert als een isolerende laag en beschermt het onderliggende ijs tegen direct zonlicht. Als deze beschermende laag te vroeg in het jaar smelt, wordt het gletsjerijs gedurende een aanzienlijk langere periode blootgesteld aan smeltwater, waardoor het verlies van gletsjerijs eerder begint.

3/3 Winter snow accumulation is a key buffer against summer melt. These numbers do not bode well for the coming season. Full report: https://t.co/m3q0LuxEJe #GLAMOS #ETHZurich

1/3 The #GLAMOS winter snow accumulation report for Swiss glaciers in 2026 is out! Snow depth measurements on 25 glaciers across Switzerland were carried out in April/May together with colleagues from the Universities of Zurich and Fribourg. #Glaciology #SwissGlaciers

1/2 Earth's glaciers lost 408 Gt of ice in 2025 alone, equal to 1.1 mm of sea-level rise. Six of the highest mass-loss years on record have occurred in the past seven years. Our group contributed via #GLAMOS, the Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network. 🧊

#GLAMOS winter surveys are underway. On April 7, measurements on #Aletsch showed ~0.5–4.5 m snow (near average), while #Pers had much less than normal (max 1–2 m). More updates will follow soon, stay tuned. :)

The winter surveys of #GLAMOS are just around the corner! ❄️ Yesterday we headed into the field with a big group for a safety training to refresh our techniques and safety protocols. Now let’s hope the #glaciers get plenty of snow so they’re well prepared for spring and summer.

What does glacier fieldwork look like for our colleague Matthias Huss, head of #GLAMOS? 🧊📏 @politiken followed him on #PlaineMorte, where he documents the beauty, and rapid loss, of Swiss ice. 📄Check out via https://t.co/q8u339AjYI

Am 30. September ging das #hydrologische Jahr 24/25 zu Ende. Im Westen und Süden war es zu nass, im Osten dagegen zu trocken. Nach den Daten von #GLAMOS verloren die Schweizer #Gletscher in den letzten Monaten 3% ihrer Masse. Ein kurzer Überblick => https://t.co/XAZggGgjLJ (km)

[2/2] This year’s melt was driven by a snow-poor winter and heatwaves. Glaciers below 3k m lost over 2 m of ice. Shrinking glaciers also destabilize mountains, as seen in May, when a rock–ice avalanche buried Blatten in Lötschental. 🔗 to #GLAMOS report: https://t.co/0QngPouYZr

Swiss glaciers are seeing below-average snowdepths two months into the new mass balance year, according to real-time #GLAMOS stations. Not unusual, though, and forecasts show snow depths will catch up soon. ❄️❄️ #Glaciers #Climate

How are Swiss #glaciers doing right now? Two months into the new glacier year, there's still little snow on the ice, especially below 2800 masl (only 30-70cm, as reported by our real-time stations). The situation is not very unusual though. @glamos_ch @VAW_glaciology

Yesterday, some of our colleagues were out at #Jungfraujoch wrapping up #GLAMOS mass balance measurements. 🏔️ Even though the melt season is just starting, there's still an impressive amount of snow high up on the glaciers. ❄️
