Switzerland and Italy Redraw Border Due to Melting Glaciers

The border adjustment near the Matterhorn follows rapid glacier retreat attributed to climate change, with Switzerland approving the changes and Italy expected to follow.

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.
