Switzerland's glaciers lost 5.5% of their remaining ice volume in the 2026 hydrologic year, bringing total loss to nearly 20% since 2021, according to GLAMOS and SCNAT. Record summer heat and low-snow winters are accelerating Alpine melt, with Scex Rouge shedding 3 metres of ice in August–September alone. The losses threaten summer water supply, hydropower output, and the country's winter-sports economy.
