Kandersteg faces geological risks after the destruction of the village of Blatten caused by melting glaciers and landslides. Mayor Rene Maeder emphasized the devastating impact of nature, but expressed confidence in the monitoring systems protecting the area. Since 2018, the Spitzer Stein summit has shown signs of instability, turning Kandersteg into a testing ground for climate change monitoring technologies. Seismic activity and geological instability remain major concerns for the region.
