Overview

• The Swiss-Italian border near the Matterhorn is being redrawn as melting glaciers shift natural boundaries.
• Switzerland has officially approved the border changes, with Italy's approval process currently underway.
• The changes affect areas around popular ski resorts, including Zermatt, Plateau Rosa, and Gobba di Rollin.
• Switzerland's glaciers have experienced significant volume loss, with a 4% reduction in 2023 following a 6% loss in 2022.
• The border adjustment highlights broader impacts of climate change, including unstable landscapes and the discovery of remains and artifacts as glaciers recede.
