Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland lives with the danger of thawing permafrost. The Spitze Stein above the village is crumbling. How acute are the threats in the mountains and how do people in the valley live with them? Mona Vetsch ("DOK") and Tobias Müller ("Einstein") embark on a report. _____________________________________________ ????

Mudslides triggered by a landslide could bury parts of Kandersteg. For this reason, no more building work is allowed in the village center. The economic consequences are enormous. The village fears stagnation. It is not just villages that are directly affected by changes. Mountaineers and hikers must also adapt. Old paths remain closed, new routes have different requirements. Huts are being closed or relocated. There is a spirit of optimism in Bondo GR today: almost seven years after the landslide, a new path is to lead through the Val Bondasca to the SAC hut "Sciora". But the accident, in which eight people died, still has legal consequences. How are those responsible dealing with it today? And what can Kandersteg BE and Switzerland learn from Bondo GR? _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Monica Suter, Ariane Meier, Michèle Sauvain ▪ Camera: Simon Usteri, Gion Huonder, Mario Hari, Matthias Lüscher ▪ Editing: Peter Karlaganis, Andreas Arnheiter ▪ Production: Monika Zingg ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is "DOK": Our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sport and business.
