A massive landslide occurred on the Flughorn massif in Tyrol on Sunday afternoon. Around 100 meters of rock from the 3400 meter high southern summit were torn away and thundered down in the area of the north-west flank.
A heavy rock fall occurred at the Arête des Cosmiques on the Mont Blanc massif earlier this week. Numerous rope teams on the south face of the Aiguille du Midi witnessed the massive rock avalanche. Climber Nick Lozica even captured the event on camera.
