In the Swiss Alps, permafrost occurs discontinuously and commonly has a temperature close to 0 °C. A reduction of Alpine permafrost area and volume is expected in the course of atmospheric warming, but to date, limited evidence is available for Alpine permafrost degradation. Permafrost warming or thaw is accompanied by structural changes in the subsurface, which endanger infrastructure by...

In the Swiss Alps, mountain permafrost – subsurface materials remaining at negative ground temperatures throughout the year – is encountered discontinuously above about 2300 m.a.s.l. Nevertheless, abnormally cold ground conditions indicating possible occurrence of isolated permafrost patches have been reported in many locations at much lower elevation where the mean annual air temperature is...
