Authorities in eastern Switzerland<\/a> ordered residents of the tiny village of Brienz to evacuate by Friday evening because geology experts say a mass of 2 million cubic meters of Alpine rock looming overhead could break loose and spill down in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Local leaders said during a town hall and a media event Tuesday that residents would have to leave by 6 p.m. on Friday but could return to the village from time to time starting Saturday, depending on the risk level, but not stay overnight.<\/p>\n

The centuries-old village straddles German- and Romansch-speaking parts<\/a> of the eastern Graubunden region, sitting southwest of Davos at an altitude of about 3,800 feet. Today it has under 100 residents.<\/p>\n

The mountain and the rocks on it have been moving since the last Ice Age, local officials say. But measurements indicated a “strong acceleration over a large area” in recent days, and “up to 2 million cubic meters of rock material will collapse or slide in the coming seven to 24 days,” officials said.<\/p>\n

Over the last century, the village itself has moved a few inches each year, but the movement sped up over the last 20 years. The landslide has been moving about about 3 feet per year. Geological surveys suggest the situation has become even more precarious.<\/p>\n

Christian Gartmann, a member of the crisis management board in the town of Albula, which counts Brienz in its municipality, said experts estimate there’s a 60% chance that the rock will fall in smaller chunks, which may not reach the village or the valley. The landslide could also move slowly.<\/p>\n

But there’s also a 10% chance that the whole 2-million-cubic meter mass may tumble down, threatening lives, property and the village itself, he said.<\/p>\n

“We hope that the village stays intact,” Gartmann said by phone. “We can’t eliminate the possibility that it (the rock) will come down. … It could damage the village or destroy it.”<\/p>\n

Gartmann said glacier melt had affected the precariousness of the rocks over millennia but that melting glaciers due to “man-made” climate change in recent decades wasn’t a factor.<\/p>\n

Experts concluded that a controlled explosion to set off a rock slide was too dangerous because it would require drilling under the rock \u2014 itself a hazardous operation, Gartmann said. Erecting a giant pile of sand or a wall to try to hold back the rocks also wasn’t considered feasible, he said: The wall would have to be at least 230 feet high to protect the village.<\/p>\n

Many of the evacuees were expected to stay with family or friends, though local leaders have received offers from concerned neighbors to provide temporary housing<\/a>. He said. At the current “orange” alert level, however, farm animals were to be left behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
